"Nintendo expects a 7.6 percent increase in net sales and a 26.3 percent jump in net income by March 2009."
Much bigger jump in Net Income compared to revenue means several possibilities :
- lower COGS for H/W
- more portion of S/W (which have higher margin compared to H/W). This could mean increase S/W from Nintendo itself (first party) or non-Nintendo (third party).
- higher licensing fee (I don't think this is a possibility)
- lowered non COGS cost, such as marketing fund (a stupid decision, IMO)
