Nintendo Earnings Release for Q3 2016-17 to take place on January 31st

Today, it was announced that the next Nintendo Earnings Release (Nine Months Earnings Release, Q3 2016-17) would take place on January 31st, which means that the usual meeting with investors should take place on February 1st.

On January 31st, Nintendo will share data for Q3 2016-17 (October 1st – December 31st), including the latest sales data. It will be pretty interesting to see how much the Nintendo Classic Mini – Nintendo Entertainement System / Famicom, Pokémon Sun and Moon, and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS (among others) have sold worldwide.

We will also get updated LTD sales for the Wii U, the Nintendo 3DS, and their games (not to mention the updated list of million-sellers)

If Nintendo is planning to once again revise its forecast for the full Fiscal Year (April 1st 2016 to March 30th 2017), due to end of year sales stronger/weaker than expected, then the company should do it sometime in January, before the Earning Release.

During the meeting with investors (that follows the latest Nintendo Earnings Release), Nintendo will detail its strategy for the upcoming months/year, and will most definitely mention the two upcoming mobile games (Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing). Since the meeting will be after the Nintendo Switch presentation, in January, Nintendo will most likely not announce anything for it.

But it’s likely Nintendo will further detail its strategy regarding the Nintendo Switch, and maybe even share some early pre-order data.
