Blames slower sales and strong yen; year-end earnings forecast unchanged with 3DS to pick up the slack.
Nintendo has released its financial results for the nine months to December 2010, with profits falling 74 per cent year on year.
Net income fell from 192.6 billion yen to 49.5 billion, a drop of 74.3 per cent. It blames the figure on slower sales combined with a stronger yen, which forced the firm to revalue assets held in foreign currencies.
