What this is
Nintendo’s estimated revenue from selling Pokémon games outside Japan, in its year to March 2026, set against The Pokémon Company’s size: ¥54–88bn, or 5–9% of the group.
How it’s built
- Took an earlier estimate of Nintendo’s overseas Pokémon software revenue: ¥54–88bn, central ¥69.9bn.
- Divided by estimates of the whole Pokémon Company group’s revenue (about ¥1.02–1.05 trillion): 5–9%.
- Divided by the Tokyo company’s filed revenue of ¥531.4bn: 10–17%.
What we assumed
- Nintendo’s overseas revenue is 60–75% of US list price on 10–13 million copies.Nintendo discloses units only. The research has since revised this input to ¥69–93bn on actual prices and units, which this figure does not yet reflect.
- Nintendo’s year to March roughly matches the company’s year to February.One month apart; treated as close enough.
Sanity check
This is money Nintendo keeps as publisher outside Japan, on top of its 32% share of The Pokémon Company. The input is out of date; the revised estimate would raise the top of the range.
