Vinniegambini on 30 January 2013

ANYWHO! I'm done arguing.

According to the report,

Animal Crossing New Leaf sold 2.73 million in total as of late (including eshop sales)

New Super Mario Bros U and Nintendoland sold 2.01 and 2.33 million respectively (including eshop sales).

Pokemon Black and White 2 sold 7.6 million

Here is how it looks per quarter basis.

Operating income
Q1 = (113.6 million)
Q2 = (207.1 million)
Q3 = 256.3 million
To date Q1-Q3 = (64.4 million)

Net Income
Q1 = (189.5 million)
Q2 = (118.4 million)
Q3 = 468 million
To date Q1-Q3 = 160 million

I need to do a better explain how the financial results works... I will try to give a example.

- Nintendo posted $50 loss for Q1
- This $50 loss enter in the next Q... so the Q2 already have a dividend of $50 because the last Q
- Then Nintendo post the Q2

It's like a credit card bill (at least in Brazil)... if you didn't pay all the bill then the next moth you receive a new bill added which you have not paid in the previous month.

They is no $450 million profit because you have to pay the loss of the previous quarter... the same happen with profit... if you have profit in a quarter the next quarter have to added this profit in the results.

YUP, just as I thought, nothing but semantics. If you isolate the third quarter, you see $450 million profit. You don't see $300 million magically fall into a black hole to be completely disregarded.

Hence the title 3rd quarter results (Oct-Dec).

Yeah... now I understand what you was saying... that's it the $300m loss have to enter in this quarter too .

I don't see how it factors into an isolated quarter. Hell, Nintendo probably paid off those losses months ago with their billions of dollars in back-up funds.

Do you mind if I put it at the front page?

Nintendoland is tracked at 1,56Mil currently, the game sold over 25% (800k!) digitally? Digital distribution seeems to grow bigger. I wonder how long VGChartz can afford not to track it.

I'm sorry I was just trying to explain you can't remove the lost money from the previous quarters... you have to pay it the next quarters... the $450 million looks more like "revenue" (it's not exactly revenue I can't find other word to explain) than "net income".

This was the first time looking at it for me, so I was a bit confused at first, but then my accounting instincts kicked in! :)

Even if you pay it you have to put it in the quarter results.
