What this is
Nintendo’s share of affiliate profit, chiefly The Pokémon Company, as a share of its pre-tax recurring profit, year to March 2016: 6.6%.
How it’s built
- Divided Nintendo’s ¥1.9bn share of affiliate profit by its ¥28.8bn ordinary profit, both from its filings.
What we assumed
- Affiliate profit is treated as Pokémon.Nintendo reports all affiliates together; The Pokémon Company is the main one.
Sanity check
The share is high because Nintendo’s own profit was very low that year, not because affiliate profit was large.
Where it comes from
