Cita:Nintendo continues to pursue its basic strategy of ÔÇ£Gaming Population ExpansionÔÇØ by offering compelling products that anyone can enjoy, regardless of age, gender or gaming experience.
During the six months ended September 30, 2013, Nintendo continued to experience strong sales in the Japanese market for ÔÇ£Nintendo 3DS (3DS, 3DS XL and 2DS),ÔÇØ as ÔÇ£Tomodachi Collection,ÔÇØ released in April in Japan, marked 1.63 million units in sales, while there have also been hit titles from third-party publishers. In the overseas markets, ÔÇ£Animal Crossing: New Leaf,ÔÇØ released in June in the Unites States and Europe, sold 2.01 million units (2.49 million units worldwide), while titles such as ÔÇ£LuigiÔÇÖs Mansion: Dark Moon,ÔÇØ released in the previous fiscal year, and ÔÇ£Mario & Luigi: Dream TeamÔÇØ and ÔÇ£Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D,ÔÇØ both released in the current fiscal year, showed steady sales. As a result, the global sales of the ÔÇ£Nintendo 3DSÔÇØ hardware and software reached 3.89 million and 27.38 million units respectively.
With respect to ÔÇ£Wii U,ÔÇØ Nintendo released the key first-party title ÔÇ£Pikmin 3ÔÇØ in July in Japan and Europe, and in August in the United States, as well as another key first-party title ÔÇ£The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HDÔÇØ in September in Japan and the United States, but the global sales of the ÔÇ£Wii UÔÇØ hardware and software reached only 0.46 million and 6.30 million units respectively.
Regarding ÔÇ£Nintendo DS (DS, DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL),ÔÇØ the worldwide sales of its hardware and software were 0.10 million and 5.25 million units respectively. Also, the sales of the ÔÇ£WiiÔÇØ hardware and software were 0.47 million and 14.90 million units respectively.
Sobre Wii U:
Cita:The ÔÇ£Wii UÔÇØ hardware still has a negative impact on NintendoÔÇÖs profits, owning mainly to its markdown in the United States and Europe, leading to a gross profit of 62.0 billion yen. The operating loss was 23.2 billion yen as total selling, general and administrative expenses exceeded gross profit due to enhancements in advertising activities to increase sales, and research and development for the ÔÇ£Wii UÔÇØ software among others. As a result of exchange gains totaling 18.3 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 1.2 billion yen and net income was 0.6 billion yen.
