任天堂營業額減少

Recently the Yomiuri News reported the following:

任天堂が30日発表した2009年4~6月期連結決算は、売上高が前年期比40.1%減の2534億円、引き後利益が60.6%減の423億円と大幅な減收減益となった。09年3月期には、家庭用ゲーム機「Wii(ウィー)」の好調で最高益を記錄したが、4~6月は「Wii」の世界販売る台数が前年同期比で57%減り、好調ぶりに陰りが出てきたようだ。任天堂は、ソフト「Wiiスポーツリゾート」の国内発売が6月末、海外発売が7月にずれ込んだ影響だとしている。携帯ゲーム機「ニンテンドーDS」の販売台数も14%減の597万台だった。一方、10年3月期については売上高が1兆8000億円、税引き後利益が過去最高の3000億円とする業績予想を据え置いた。

In the April-June financial statement released by Nintendo, sales compared with the same period last year saw a huge drop of 40.1% to 2,534 billion yen, or a drop of 60.6% to 423 billion yen in profit after tax. Although in the first three-month period in 2009, the sales of family game Wii had registered good sales, in April-June the Wii sales in the world had dropped 57% when compared with same period last year. The time gap for Nintendo to launch its software "Wii Sports Resort" in late June in the country and started its sales in July overseas had an impact. Mobile game machine "Nintendo-DS" also registered a drop of 14% at 5.97 million numbers in sales. Separately, there was no change in the forecast for the first three-month sales in 2010 of 1.8 trillion yen, and a record high after tax income of 3,000 billion yen.

My feeling is that could Nintendo's drop in sales also due to the global weak economy. Consumers in Japan and overseas may be more prudent in spending their money on entertainment in view of the uncertain world-wide financial outlook.
