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 2020: 2.2%.
How it’s built
- Divided Nintendo’s ¥7.9bn share of affiliate profit by its ¥360.5bn 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
Sword/Shield launched this year, but Nintendo’s gain from it shows up in its own game sales outside Japan, not in this line.
Where it comes from
