What this is
How Nintendo's share of affiliate profit moved after the 2016 boom: in the years to March 2018–2021 it ran at 32–51% of the 2017 peak (¥20.3bn), then rose to 1.31–1.48 times that peak in 2022–2024.
How it’s built
- Each year's filed equity-method income divided by the year to March 2017's ¥20.3bn: ¥10.3bn, ¥6.9bn, ¥7.9bn and ¥6.6bn for 2018–2021; ¥26.7bn for 2022; ¥26.6bn and ¥30.1bn for 2023–2024.
What we assumed
- The 2017 peak is comparable with later years.It is not quite: it added up four affiliates, and Nintendo held 55–60% of the Mariners' operator until August 2016, so the club weighed more in it.
Sanity check
Nintendo's line covers all its affiliates, though The Pokémon Company dominates it.
