Nintendo posted a 34% gain in operating profit for April-September thanks to brisk demand for its Wii game console, but they cut its annual outlook amid a global economic slowdown and a surge in the yen.
Operating profit is 252.2 billion yen, up from 188.78 billion yen YOY.
For the year to March 2009 Nintendo lowered its operating profit forecast by 3 % to 630 billion yen. The latest outlook is still up from 487.22 billion yen a year earlier.
