In the year to March 2017 Nintendo booked ¥20.3bn of affiliate profit, ¥6.8bn more than 32% of the affiliates’ combined ¥42.0bn profit would give

How it’s built

1. Nintendo’s annual report gives the affiliates’ combined net profit (¥42.0bn, at 100%) and Nintendo’s booked share (¥20.3bn).
2. 32% of ¥42.0bn is ¥13.5bn; the gap is ¥6.8bn, or ¥21.3bn grossed up to 100%.
3. Nintendo booked 48.2% of combined profit, against 32.4% in the year to March 2026. Grossed up at 32%, its booking implies ¥63.3bn, 3.98 times the Tokyo parent’s ¥15.9bn.

What we assumed

• The affiliates’ table is at 100%, not Nintendo’s share.Inferred from the table’s layout and its scope sentence; the filing does not say ‘100%’ outright.
• 32% is the right stake to compare with.It is Nintendo’s stake in The Pokémon Company; the other three affiliates have different stakes, so the comparison is approximate.

Sanity check

The gap shows Nintendo’s booking did not equal 32% of the table that year. This entry does not explain why, so treat the gap as an open question.
