☆ NintendObs Event – Nintendo Q2 FY3/2015.
During the six months ended September 30, 2014, for “Nintendo 3DS,” “Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS,” released in Japan in September, showed extremely strong initial sales, and marked 3.22 million units in sales globally, partly because shipments for the October release in the overseas markets began in September. “Tomodachi Life,” released in June in the overseas markets, continued to show steady sales, and marked 1.27 million units in sales worldwide during this fiscal year (3.12 million units on a cumulative basis). As a result, the global sales of the “Nintendo 3DS” hardware and software were 2.09 million and 23.3 million units respectively.
With respect to “Wii U,” Nintendo released “Mario Kart 8” globally in May, which has continued to show steady sales, as well as “Hyrule Warriors,” released in September in the overseas markets, which has gained popularity. The worldwide sales of the “Wii U” hardware and software were 1.12 million units and 9.4 million units respectively.
Net sales as a result were 171.3 billion yen (of which overseas sales were 125.5 billion yen or 73.3% of the total sales) and gross profit was 81.0 billion yen. Total selling, general and administrative expenses exceeded gross profit, resulting in an operating loss of 0.2 billion yen. As a result of exchange gains totaling 15.5 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 22.1 billion yen and net income was 14.3 billion yen.
