The result was worse than expected. Analysts had on average counted on 39.8 billion yen, according to Bloomberg.
Nintendo's forecast for the recently initiated fiscal year is an operating result of 320 billion yen, significantly lower than expected. The average forecast there was 449.4 billion yen.
