Not only that, but the new Fire Emblem game to 3DS is TBD for the west,but it is schedule to release summer 2015 in Japan, so there is a chance the game could still be released this year in the west too.

thats not what it says in the first post of the thread, it says:

full year Net Income: 30¥ billion yen
Q3 Net Income: 45.215¥ billion yen

And you are saying 42 billion for the quarter and 59 for the year where are you taking those numbers from?

The Full Year Guidance thing is their expectations for the Fiscal Year, they expect 550 billion yen in Net sales, they slashed their operating income to 20 billion yen, and up their net incoming forecast to 30 billion yen.

The part of the 42.215 billion yen for the Q3 was a error from my part, since for some reason, I had it remembered as if it was 42, not 45.

And the 59.5 billion yen for the nine months covered by April to December come from here:

"During the nine months ended December 31, 2014, for “Nintendo 3DS,” “New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL,” launched as the newest members of the “Nintendo 3DS” family in Japan in October, got off to a good start and continued to sell well. However, as sales of the “Nintendo 3DS” hardware in the United States and in Europe, where “New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL” were yet to be launched, did not grow sufficiently, the global sales of the “Nintendo 3DS” family hardware were 7.08 million units. As for the “Nintendo 3DS” software, “Pokémon Omega Ruby/Pokémon Alpha Sapphire” and “Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS” enjoyed robust sales with 9.35 million units and 6.19 million units sold respectively, while titles such as “Tomodachi Life,” “Mario Kart 7” and “Pokémon X/Pokémon Y” showed steady sales. There were also a number of hit titles from third-party publishers in the Japanese market. As a result, the global sales of the “Nintendo 3DS” software were 53.04 million units.

With respect to “Wii U,” Nintendo released two big titles, “Mario Kart 8”and “Super Smash Bros. for Wii U,” which enable family members and friends to have fun together in their living rooms. These titles sold 4.77 million units and 3.39 million units globally, and the global sales of the “Wii U” hardware and software reached 3.03 million and 20.59 million units respectively.

As a result, net sales were 442.9 billion yen (of which overseas sales were 323.2 billion yen or 73.0% of the total sales) and operating income was 31.6 billion yen. As a result of exchange gains totaling 51.0 billion yen due to depreciation of the yen at the end of this period compared with the one at the end of the last fiscal year, ordinary income was 92.3 billion yen and net income was 59.5 billion yen."

I understand, but then, why the thread title says they earned 250 million dollars (30 billion yen).

Because people can get confused and thought that was what they have gained at the moment in the Fiscal Year, and not what they are predictin to gain in the Fiscal Year, which is what it actually is, their guidance for the FY, their forecasts.

So, you are saying Nintendo profited about 550 million dollars? thats more than their expectations

See below for a comparison of release dates mentioned in June of 2014 to the release dates mentioned in the current press release.  It looks like only Mario Maker got more vague, but I still think it will be out by the summer.

As the report said itself, the net profit was of 59.5 million yen, so somewhere around 500 million dollars, indeed above their expectations, but as you most surely have seen by now, it seems Wii U is still being sold at a loss, so with production starting up again for Q4, that is going to eat a lot of the profits, which is why they halved their operating income forecast to 20 billion yen, but because of favorable exchange rates they upped their net profit expectations. Though the Wii U thing is not confirmed, it is only the thought of a analyst, that halfment of the operating income forecast may come from them expecting to use a lot of money on ad campaigns, maybe expanding to have a better release schedule for future consoles, and/or R&D is eating all that money up.

Now i understand. thank you :D

Your welcome :3
