Nintendo reports sales and earnings for Q1 - Great Rumbler - 5th August 2003 Quote:Nintendo reports that in the 1st business quarter of the year (April to June) 3.24 million Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP units were sold, quite a large number compared to the only 800,000 Gamecube units sold in that same period. At the end of the business year in March Nintendo reported a 37% decline in net profit, but with higher profit in the 1st business quarter at 11.45 billion yen ($95 million) their 15 billion yen goal for the first half of the year was met. Overall sales are up 5% from the same period last year. As far as operating profit, only 21% of their 35 billion yen goal for the first half has been achieved. "Although we are keeping our full-year forecast unchanged, we think we can expect upside potential," said Yoshihiro Mori, Nintendo's Senior Managing Director.] 800,000 isn't that great, but from what I heard MS only sold 500,000 Xboxes during that same time period. I don't know wether or not that's true, though. N-Philes Nintendo reports sales and earnings for Q1 - Dark Jaguar - 5th August 2003 That article says 80,000, not 800,000. Was that actually a typo?
