Nintendo: still making money, just not as much
Seems Sony isn't the only one who has less-than-idealistic quarterly profits. Nintendo, who chose this quarter to release less than ten games on its home console – and none of those were exactly hot-sellers – have reported an operating profit 80% lower than last year. And despite how well the Nintendo DS is selling (6.6 million so far),
Nintendo still reported an operating profit of 3.75 billion yen (about $33 million). Still a profit, but compare it with this time last year – 17.47 billion – it does not look as good. But I guess it was to be expected with such a small release of GameCube titles. And they are still reporting a profit, so this is not exactly bad news for the company.
