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 2017: 40.2%.
How it’s built
- Divided Nintendo’s ¥20.3bn share of affiliate profit by its ¥50.4bn 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
An outlier: affiliate profit jumped tenfold while Nintendo’s own profit was low. By the next year it fell back to 5%.
