Not quite. They made 47 billion yen from forex gains, which is 415 million USD, while sony lost about 15 billion yen from foreign exchange trends (talking about Sony as a whole, gaming division only saw a gain of a whopping 1.4 billion yen from forex trends vs last year).

Nintendo made profit of 64,670 million yen ($570m) for Q3. Pls link where it says they earned $415m on exchange rate.  But at end profit is profit.

As of 6 months of their fiscal year, they had lost 40 billion yen from foreign exchange, but after the 9 months, they had gained 7 billion yen. Conclusion: in the 3 months between, Nintendo made 47 billion from forex gains in this quarter (they both had to recoup their loss of 40 billion, and make another 7 billion to have a net surplus of 7 billion after 9 months.)

Profit is profit, but you said you wanted the whole picture.
