+----------------------------------------------------------------------+Consolidated Operating Results
2. Consolidated Financial Forecast
During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, Nintendo Switch Lite launched in September as a compact, lightweight, and easy-
to-carry system dedicated to handheld gameplay, and Nintendo Switch performed well without losing momentum, resulting in
significant sales growth for the entire Nintendo Switch family that surpassed the same period in the last fiscal year. Software like
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield became huge hits, selling 16.06 million units, alongside Luigi's Mansion 3 and Super Mario
Maker 2, both of which sold over 5 million units. In addition, sales of popular titles released during previous fiscal years and titles from
other software publishers continued to grow steadily, bringing the total number of million-seller titles during this fiscal year to 21,
including the titles of other software publishers. Nintendo Switch also launched in China through Tencent Holdings Limited in
December. As a result, hardware sales reached 17.74 million units (22.5% increase on a year-on-year basis), and software sales reached
123.13 million units (30.1% increase on a year-on-year basis).
For Nintendo 3DS, hardware sales totaled 0.62 million units (73.0% decrease on a year-on-year basis), while software sales totaled
4.10 million units (63.0% decrease on a year-on-year basis).
Turning to our digital business for dedicated video game platforms, the steady growth in sales of downloadable versions of packaged
software and download-only software for Nintendo Switch, as well as the contribution from Nintendo Switch Online throughout the
entire fiscal year, helped to bring overall digital sales to 124.9 billion yen (48.3% increase on a year-on-year basis).
For the mobile business, many consumers continue to enjoy applications released during this fiscal year, such as Mario Kart Tour, as
well as titles that were released in previous fiscal years. Our mobile, IP related income reached 36.9 billion yen (10.6% increase on a
year-on-year basis).
In total, sales reached 1,022.6 billion yen (including overseas sales of 795.7 billion yen, or 77.8% of the total), and operating profit
came to 262.9 billion yen. Ordinary profit was 273.8 billion yen, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent totaled 196.3 billion
yen for this fiscal year.
Regarding Nintendo Switch, we will continue to convey the appeal of both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite hardware,
and work to expand their installed base. In addition to Nintendo-published titles like Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore (January),
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX (March) and Animal Crossing: New Horizons (March), there are also a robust variety of
appealing titles from other software publishers scheduled to be released. We will work to keep the platform energized by continuously
introducing attractive new titles in addition to the popular titles already released.
For our mobile business, operations will focus on encouraging more consumers to continue to enjoy playing applications released this
fiscal year like Mario Kart Tour, as well as the ones that were released in previous fiscal years.
We have revised the financial forecast originally published on April 25, 2019. For details, please see the Notice of Full-Year
Financial Forecast and Dividend Forecast Modifications issued today (January 30, 2020).
