If that´s true then Nintendo is really rushing the launch of the NX, and that would be catastrophic for them.

I don´t believe we will see the NX until 2017

It's just another analyst so he's just guessing.

Not really because he's talking about fiscal years and quarters.

If I'm not wrong (and if that's the case, someone please correct me) fiscal years start in April and that means that October, November and December would be part of the 3rd quarter of a fiscal year. Also, in Japan the fiscal years (FY) are named by the year they end, so the 2017 FY starts in April 2016 and ends in March 2017.

If this is the case, the system would still not have been out a full year.

But let's just assume he was talking about 5 months after release (March 2017) to start tracking the NX's profitability to March 2018, that seems like a really strange time to do that. The release 5 months (especially during the holidays) would be a better glimpse of how desirable a console is than a consoles 6 months until the first price drop. That is when the stride of new consoles tend to significantly slow down. 

I can force this to make sense, but in all honesty it really doesn't.

*edit* Oh, and that's only AFTER we ignore he specifically was quoted as saying launching 17/3.

You are mixing real years with fiscal years. Releasing 17/3 means launching in the 3rd quarter of the 2017 fiscal year, and that is between October and December of 2016.

He then says "We think the NX will start to boost operating profits in 18/3" that means that until one year after launch, so by Christmas 2017, we'll start seeing how NX boosts Nintendo profits.

It could definitely happen. We just have to wait and see how things go.

Sure, but then the dates he are giving are off. He could just as easily said we will be watching it from christmas 2016 to 2017. What he was quoted as saying doesn't match those dates.I understand fiscal years, but if you are tracking outside of the fiscal year (being the launch nor the year anniversary are happining in March) you may just want to give actual dates of sampling.

But there is when he being an analyst makes sense. He's not saying that for us but for investors and other companies that make decisions based on the quaterly results.

Why you thinkig they rushing launch!? The hunting new platform two years now, they probably start working on some NX games in 2014. and they definitely moved some Wii U/3DS projects to NX.

Also Wii U wasn't rushed and again was catastrophic for them.

3/17 Nintnedo's financial year which is why he's talking about reaching a operating profit after a year. "We think the NX will start to boost operating profits in 18/3, when it will have been on the market for a full year"

isnt this what most think will happen?
