Yes as I was expecting, you never know though. People tend to talk in terms of what suits their agenda :>

Yup, and most of people don't realise that and think beacuse OP Nintendo have loss of hundreds of millions this gen even isn't true.

That $9m figure is Net Profit, how is that in anyway related to how their hardware business is performing? You're latching on to that Net Profit figure but really it's irrelevant to this thread, the thread doesn't say Nintendo lost money, it says their products have lost money. Which is correct.

What the OP says is completely correct, and I guess he's using Operating Profit because that shows how Nintendo's Products are actually performing, due to the nature of this site I'd guess that's what people want to know. People want to know if they've made a profit on 3ds,WiiU,Amiibo,Games. That's what Operating Profit shows.

The thread doesn't say Nintendo as a company has lost money, the thread says their products have lost money, which is the more interesting point to me at least.

Obviously I don't know what reasons the OP had in creating this thread, but it doesn't matter if he is biased or a nintendo hater, there's nothing wrong with the thread itself other then the crazed reactions of some.

Not the OP's fault though really, he stated facts If people interpret them wrong it's their fault. People could take your facts and may assume that Nintendo's products have been profitable when that's not true either. Both of you are doing things wrong. Barkely is stating only Operating Profit, he's not lied or been deceitful but he could have given the Net Profit information to say "Nintendo's products have lost money this generation, but the company has not."

Meanwhile you are spreading only the "Net Profit" this generation, while yes what you say is true that Nintendo as a company has not lost money this generation it's just as bad as the OP as you're not stating the Operating Profit as well. "Nintendo haven't lost moeny this genreation but there compnay has."

Niether of you are telling both sides of the story.

Neither of you have lied, neither of you have really done anything wrong, but niether of you told both sides of the story.

You're trying to give Net Profit to discount this thread, which just isn't relevant. But it should have been included in the OP so people don't misunderstand what the thread is saying. Then maybe people wouldn't have gone batshit crazy and the OP wouldn't have ended up banning himself.

If you go few posts up you will see that I answer to post that said Nintendo made more profit in FY 2010/2011 than they have lost this generation, and that isn't true because currently have just around 9 million loss of profit and they will actually have solid profit this gen with this fiscal year.

My point is that because of this operating loss some people assuming that is equal profit, and Nintendo actually made loss of hundreds of millions this gen even isn't true.

Yeah I know, it should have been put in the OP to avoid people coming into the thread and going mental, but really it's sad what this thread turned into. The point is valid, Nintendo's Products this generation have not made a profit, even if Nintendo itself will make a profit overall. But people came in and rather than be sensible just decided to bitch.

With that Pokemon Go money and massive stock increase Nintendo doesn't have anything to worry about at the moment. So long as NX is at least a modest success they will be fine.

Yup. That's why they should have killed sooner. Wii U is not helping them, in fact it was just a ball of problems, starting with the irrelevant presence of the company in the homeconsole market.

I mean, even NX was better in that topic. An unreleased console vs an already released 3-4 years console. Pathetic.

At least Pokemon Go and BotW is helping on Nintendo awareness this time.

Dont forget NES Mini. :)

Their products might not have made a profit yet this gen but I believe Nintendo is becoming self aware of the potential money making their IPs can offer.  They are about to get into movies with the sale of most of their stake in the Seattle Marriners (almost all 3D animations movies make big bucks even if they are based off semi stupid premises (the most recent what do pets do when you are gone movie comes to my mind)), they are working with Universal Studios for theme park rides, selling more toys than usual with amiibo and other expansions in toy market (surprised they don't team up with Lego for a Zelda or Metroid theme sets), and basically pushing their IPs more onto anything they can.  Did they share their IPs in the past with other companies?  Sure but it seems to be more of a push these days.
