Kimishima shares more on download sales
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 2 Comments
This information comes from Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima…
Next, I would like to talk about the status of download sales.
This graph shows download sales from the latest three fiscal years through the third quarter of this fiscal year.
Total download sales from the first quarter to the third quarter totaled 30.5 billion yen. This increase is mainly due to add-on content inside games.
Without including the upcoming fourth quarter results, we are already close to achieving sales of the previous fiscal year total.
This is the breakdown of download sales by region through the third quarter of the previous fiscal year and this fiscal year. You can see that the sales figures for each region exceeded those of the previous fiscal year. Especially significant is the growth rate of The Americas ? the yellow part of the graph.
The Americas accounts for around half, followed by Japan and Europe.
This slide shows top selling download titles excluding download versions of packaged software.
In particular, add-on content for Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 8 made large contributions.
We will continue to release attractive add-on content maximizing features of each software title since they help maintain software usage rate and keep the title at the center of conversation.

Approximately 31 million units of figure-type amiibo have shipped to date worldwide as of the end of third quarter of this fiscal year.
Kimishima talks 3DS hardware and software sales

This information comes from Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima…
This graph shows the comparison between the Nintendo 3DS hardware sell-through numbers from 2014 (calendar year) and 2015 (calendar year) in the Japanese market.
In 2014, we were able to invigorate the market a little earlier than last year-end sales season with the launch of New Nintendo 3DS and the release of titles such as Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. On the other hand, in 2015, despite a little late start off compared to the previous year, we saw a hardware-driving effect of software such as CAPCOM?CO LTD.’s Monster Hunter X (Cross), and there was momentum as strong as the previous year in the year-end sales season growth.

Development lag causing delay of Nintendo’s sleep monitoring device
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 8 Comments
Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima shared a small update on the company’s quality of life initiative during a press conference earlier today. The device intended to measure sleep quality was originally planned for March, but was moved to April or beyond due to development lagging behind.
Kimishima shared a tiny tidbit about the 3DS as well. He mentioned that the system had trouble raising sales during the year-end holiday season, though digital download games and amiibo figures sold favorably.
