Yes they made net profit!

The loss was 48$m ( a small one but i admit, loss isn't a happy occurence )   mainly because of stronger yen, disastrous as they article points out... Yeah, sure! lol

The 50% QYOY up  of 3ds sales and the huge boost on Pokemon games sales by pokemon go for instance,  are a triviallity...

Or Mario kart 8 being at 8m sold on a 13m selling console!

Investors look at operating profit moreso than net profit. Net profit is used by companies all the time to skew things, this Nintendo financial report is a perfect example of that, Nintendo doesn't several other baseball teams sitting around to be sold. Operating profit shows the health of the actual company's business.

I know all of these, why are you insisting on talking me about investors? I'm scathing the journalists not them!

Is 48m$ quartly loss  a disastrous thing for a multi-billionair company? Especially, when is on transition?

For example, should sony  have abandoned playstation and not make the very succesful,  both commercially and financially,  ps4 because ps3  in spite of being  commercial success, was a financial flop ( 5b loss ) ?
