the $250m net figure is for the whole fiscal year so far, taking into account the losses from q1 and the modest gains from q2 (as well as the gains from q3, obviously).

it seems to be almost exactly in sync with vgchartz's #s. and the 3ds is not colossally overtracked either, within the million (~49.5 sold to customers, ~900k on shelves). the ps4 overtracking before sony released the 18.5m figure was a little less, but comparable to this. so the usual suspects shouldn't try to make too much hay about this, tho i fully expect five 3ds overtracked threads by tomorrow, possibly even a wii u one coz why not.

Then profit is 508 million dollars for Q3 alone?

I think the 30 billion yen figure you speak of is from the forecast, so far, as stated in the report "Nine months ended December 31, 2014: Net Income 59.515 million yen (59,5 billion yen). For the whole fiscal year I guess we can agree that we'll see next March 31 ;P

no, nine month period from april 1 thru december 31.

From what I understand it's for the 9 months ended December 31, 2014 as stated in the 1st table. So Q1, Q2 & Q3.

you're right, those gaf #s are off on net profit.

Jetforce, please read the title of the 1st page:

"Consolidated Results for the Nine Months Ended December 2013 and 2014!"

I'm not an expert, but I don't read anything about it being Q3 only.

Edit: Sorry, we are saying the same thing, I misread what you wrote ;P

Well that came out of the blue

How we can compare this financial results with first 9 nine months of previous year?

1,910,000 Wii U's shipped in a holiday quarter is good now?  How bad did you expect Wii U to shit?
