The only bad thing is that they missed their aims,nintendo has been really inaccurate with its forecasts...
All the others are great and it smashed analysts expectations...
What makes me wondering is how they posted that high profit while they missed their aims...41.8B yen operating profit,wow,analysts were expecting 25b yen revised from 20b yen...
It's outstanding when you compare it with the previous fiscal year when it had posted 46b yen operating loss,they reversed that completely!

41.8b is Net Income, not Operating Income.  Operating Income was 24.77b.  They had originally forecasted 40b a year ago.

Ooooops,sorry....:P

Just saying. Weren't those 2 games the supposed saving graces last year?



No need to keep rubbing salt in the wounds, we all accepted this in 2014, no need for it to be discussed in 2015 :o


Isn't this the financial results thread for the past year? Why not discuss it now?

3DS Annual shipments in the last 3 years:

13.96m
12.24m
8.73m

Why would 3DS jump back up to 9.0m for next year (which is what they forecast)? What am I missing?

The correct report ; ).  9 million is their revised forecast from the last fiscal year.  The forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2016 is 7.6m.

Oh and for the people discussing how many units are on store shelfs, take a look at Japan, according to MC/Famitsu the Wii U is at 2.255m/2.27m as of April 5th, compared to that Nintendo has shipped 2.33m to Japan, so they have between 60-75k stock in Japan at the end of March (the 5 days in April shouldn't make a significant difference because Wii U sales are so low over there). You can take that as a starting point for your discussion.

Pokemon X2-Y2/Z, I guess.

Yokai Watch hits the west like a atom bomb. If it happens it could be something huge.

Oh so using the "FY" to your advantage huh? That said my point still stands. We accepted it back in Nov/Dec, my point exactly.

Wii-U has been overtracked constantly here so no surprise there, looks like 10 million is quite far away now. Also Gamecube shipped 630k in the same quarter, so Wii-U is falling even further behind.


It has no chance of catching up anyway.


I never expected Wii-U to catch it either but the difference is getting insane. It's actually a full year of sales behind now(gamecube was at 9.55 shipped in march 2003). I once did kind of a low ball prediction of 15m lifetime for Wii-U, but looking at these numbers it could actually come true.

They can't forecast for shit.


Do you think a major drop is coming (if so how much)? I dont see 9mil, but i wouldn't be surprised if its 7mil+ (or closer to 8mil)

Apparently the real forecast is 7.6m so I'll retract my statement, 7.6m seems reasonable.

Yup. It's not catching the GameCube no chance in hell. I think best case now is maaaaaaybe they can finish at 18 million or so, but even that might be pressing it.

Does the forecast for FY15 about the wii u suggests that nintendo won't do a price drop?I think,it does...
