that woudlnt be that bad no... but thats not what it was. It was 215m yen for the 3 month period, or $2m. |
"The company said its net profit soared as a result of exchange gains totalling 15.5bn yen."
From the very same article.
215m yen - is operating profit for 3 months. Net income/profit is much higher due to the yen exchange rate.
...
dire times are coming, when the Russian helps UK citizen to properly read finance news on bbc.co.uk ...

WiiU is up 100% YOY! 300k to 610k. Total LTD is 7.29m |
so much for 3ds reaching 100 million. WiiU is still really bad even though its improving, and some people thought it will beat the xb1.

2.68m 3DS has shipped this year. It needs to be more or less flat this holiday or it'll ship under 10m units for the year.

Net income =/= profit. The actual profit was only about $2 million. |
Net income is profit, lol.
Pretty sure that operating income number is incorrect anyway if they made 24 billion yen in net profit, with 15.5 billion coming from currency gains, the rest has to be operating income.
This is the Neogaf number straight from Nintendo's own earnings report:
Q2
96.7 billion yen revenue
9.5 billion yen operating income
24.2 billion yen net income
Both WiiU and 3DS probably overtracked by ~400k.
I remember when there was a debate about 3DS vs. PSP lifetime sales. I think much fewer would debate that now
. My lifetime estimate for 3DS continues to be lowered. Now I'm thinking 65m

Yeah, you're right. But... that doesn't make sense. How could the net figure be higher than the operating income figure, especially by that much? |
yen exchage rate, man... Every quarter is the same questions... (((

Even if they made 1 penny in operating income, you do realize NET income is the end of the day take home pay day right? So they did make $224 million last quarter any way you slice it.
Also you guys should look at the statement, the operating number is for SIX MONTHS from April-September, so it takes into account Nintendo's negative earnings from the Apr-June quarter. They made an operating profit from July-September and an even bigger net profit.
At least they made a profit








My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right
