Nintendo Nintendo's fiscal year ending March 2025: Sales down 30% and operating profit down 46%.

Revenue =/= Profit

Yes, but just like how the bank ask you for your yearly income to prove you got money coming in, it’s really money you don’t have yet but to the bank it shows you got money coming it.
It’s the same with revenue for companies. Revenue shows share holders you making money which can translate into profit and that you can also pay back what you borrowing.

Xbox (and PS) calculate revenue differently where they take 100% of the money made on a third party sale as revenue and then record the 70% they owe the publisher as a cost (which Xbox conveniently hides since they don't reveal their costs or profit margins, unlike PlayStation).

Nintendo only calculates the 30% cut they take as revenue, which is automatically profit for them.

Basically, Xbox's revenue numbers are inflated (or Nintendo's are understated, depending on how you look at it) and don't say anything about profitability which is what really matters.

No way. Thats literally false accounting from N.

And its first time i see that. Do u have source?

Yup,
Combined Nintendo is gonna make and ship 19.5 millions consoles between s1 and s2.
And it seems the reason for the big S1 drop is because Nintendo is going to make less s1 to make more s2. So Nintendo themselves is killing the s1 to force migration to s2 which is backwards compatible, so why keep both in the market at the same time when they can sell you a $500 console and $80 games instead with s2?

My prediction; Switch 1 life time at 158 million.

They will sell the 4.5 million they plan on shipping this year.
Then 1 million the following year, then they discontinue. By then they should be shipping close to 25 million s2 per year.

They gave 3DS two years worth of new releases after Seitch came out and canceled additional ones only after a string of, to put it politely, underperformances.

There's a huge market for Switch 1 software, if not hardware, out there and they have been open about trying to keep supporting it. Much like the 3DS (and PS4, XBO, etc.,) before it, fans who upgraded will be begging for them to kill it by this time next year, to no avail.

This have this note in every finnancials... so Nintendo says they only counts their commission (cut) as revenue.
