Nintendo fremlægger årsregnskab for 2018-2019
Skrevet af JOEP - 25-04-2019 10:09
Nintendos finansår løber hvert år mellem april og marts, og for hvert finansår har de målsætninger, som de ønsker at opnå. I starten af finansåret 2018-2019 ønskede de at nå 20 mio. solgte Switch-konsoller på verdensplan, et tal der senere blev justeret ned til 17 mio. I dag har Nintendo fremlagt sit årsregnskab, og det viser, at de solgte 16,95 mio. konsoller, og altså dermed kun lige akkurat ikke nåede sit mål.
Det bringer det totale Switch-salg op på 34,74 mio. i hele dens levetid (til og med marts 2019). De har som mål at nå 18 mio. solgte konsoller i 2019-2020. Det betyder også, at Switch nu har solgt flere enheder end Nintendo 64 gjorde i hele sin levetid.
I samme periode har Nintendo 3DS solgt 2,55 mio. konsoller, igen lige akkurat ikke det mål på 2,6 mio, som de forventede. I sin levetid har 3DS solgt 75,08 mio. eksemplarer.
Nintendo fremlægger også spil, der har solgt mere end en mio. enheder, og den liste kan du se her:
Switch
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 16.69 million units
Super Mario Odyssey – 14.44 million units
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – 13.81 million units
Zelda: Breath of the Wild – 12.77 million units
Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee – 10.63 million units
Splatoon 2 – 8.70 million units
Super Mario Party – 6.40 million units
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe – 3.31 million units
1-2 Switch – 2.97 million units
Mario Tennis Aces – 2.64 million units
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze – 2.25 million units
Kirby Star Allies – 2.56 million units
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker – 1.18 million units
Octopath Traveler – 1.17 million units (excluding Japan)
Yoshi’s Crafted World – 1.11 million units
Nintendo Labo Variety Kit – 1.09 million units
3DS
Mario Kart 7 – 18.26 million units
Pokemon X/Y – 16.39 million units
Pokemon Sun/Moon – 16.15 million units
Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire – 14.19 million units
New Super Mario Bros. 2 – 13.16 million units
Super Mario 3D Land – 12.50 million units
Animal Crossing: New Leaf – 12.21 million units
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS – 9.49 million units
Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon – 8.37 million units
Tomodachi Life – 6.45 million units
Til trods for, at de ikke nåede målet på 17 mio. solgte konsoller, må man alligevel sige, at salget af Switch stadig er stærkt - første kvartals salgstal i USA er faktisk bedste Q1 salgstal for nogen konsol nogensinde!
Hvad siger du til disse salgstal?

Lidt mere fra Nintendo selv:The results for this fiscal year showed strong software sales for Nintendo Switch, which contributed to the expansion of hardware sales. In particular, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate recorded sales of 13.81 million units, while Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let’s Go, Eevee! sold 10.63 million units and Super Mario Party sold 6.4 million units, making them all major worldwide hits. In addition, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold 7.47 million units. Combined with steadily-growing sales of titles released during previous fiscal years and titles released by other software publishers, the total number of million-seller titles during this fiscal year recorded 23. As a result, hardware sales for this fiscal year totaled 16.95 million units (12.7% increase on a year-on-year basis), while 118.55 million
software units were sold (86.7% increase on a year-on-year basis).
Hardware sales of Nintendo 3DS, eight years from launch, totaled 2.55 million units (60.2% decrease on a year-on-year basis), while 13.22 million software units were sold (62.9% decrease on a year-on-year basis).
Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition and Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition recorded total sales of 5.95 million units.
Turning to our digital business for dedicated video game platforms, sales of download versions of packaged software and downloadonly software for Nintendo Switch showed especially good growth, bringing digital sales to 118.8 billion yen (95.4% increase on a year-on-year basis).
In our mobile business, many consumers around the world enjoy Dragalia Lost, which was released during this fiscal year, in addition to our previously-released titles. Our mobile, IP related income was 46.0 billion yen (17.0% increase on a year-on-year basis).
In total, net sales reached 1,200.5 billion yen (of which overseas sales were 934.8 billion yen or 77.9% of the total sales). Operating profit came to 249.7 billion yen. Ordinary profit was 277.3 billion yen and profit attributable to owners of parent totaled 194.0 billion
yen
Nintendo Switch has continued to spread quickly around the world since launch, providing a foundation for further business growth. In order to maintain this momentum, we will release Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit in April, Super Mario Maker 2 in June, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses in July, all worldwide. In addition, Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, Animal Crossing (temp.) and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening are slated for release in 2019. Furthermore, major titles from other software publishers are scheduled to be released. We aim to contribute to momentum of the platform by continuously introducing attractive new titles in addition to popular titles already released.
For Nintendo 3DS, we will continue to leverage the platform’s rich software library to appeal to consumers purchasing game hardware for the first time, while continuing to drive sales of evergreen titles that leverage its hardware install base.
In the mobile business, we have plans to release Dr. Mario World and Mario Kart Tour. In addition, we will strive to expand the business by ensuring that more consumers can continue to enjoy the applications we’ve released already.
Through these initiatives, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, we expect to see results of 1,250.0 billion yen in net sales, with 260.0 billion yen in operating profit, 260.0 billion yen in ordinary profit, and profit attributable to owners of parent of 180.0 billion yen. Unit sales of key products used in these forecasts can be found on page 14 under the heading “(4) Consolidated sales units, number of new titles, and unit sales forecasts” in the section titled “Others.” Exchange rate assumptions for the major currencies used in forecasting are 105 yen per US dollar and 120 yen per euro.
