Nintendo's is supposedly April 24th

It's always a little confusing because Nintendo and Sony report at the close of business day Japan time, which is a different day depending on which time zone you're in.
The $64k question is how far off the mark does everyone think Nintendo's quarterly estimates will be?
Most are predicting substantially higher.
I'm thinking their estimate will be pretty accurate and that the current trading prices of NTDOF and NDTOY reflect the appropriate value. If anything, they have probably erred (intentionally) slightly under actual earnings per share which should give the stock a small boost above current rates once the report is released.
If Nintendo paid decent dividends, I'd already have a decent stake in my portfolio. As it stands, I've been watching hawkishly for a good point to jump in (mid Jan, early Feb would have been perfect). Apple's been giving me a better rate of return currently.
Nintendo - no point of guessing, huge cash...
Sony - slightly in the black, mostly due to ps2 as PS3 still loses money per console. Also they did not have any big first party games published this quarter which is where the money is made.
Microsoft - well in the black... for the 360 they made 80 dollars per console sold a year and a half ago

Today their profit is probably around 100 even with the price cut. Plus xbox live subscriptions keep rolling in the dough...

They do give a pretty decent dividend. 1190 yen per share. That's close to 2.2% yield at the current price. But you're too late as I believe the pay date has already passed.

Thanks. I'm going to add The Big 3 to my bookmarks.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Well, the majority of profit comes from software sales as the profit margins are significantly higher. Especially games like Brain Training and Nintendogs which are pretty much pure profit at this point.
Well the DS hasnt had a price drop since launch so if logic tells you anything is that profit from each DS sold > profit from each PSP sold.

Bets with Conegamer:
Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
Anyone think 3 billion in profit is in reach for Nintendo? I think they'll reach 2.5 billion or so, could have been higher with a stronger dollar.
