Nintendo's sales can't keep up with last year's lockdown boom

If there’s one downside to an unexpected and massive spike in success, it’s that when things go back to normal, it can look worse by comparison. This is the “problem” that Nintendo is currently dealing with as it publishes its most recent quarterly report, reflecting the fact that the world has changed once again. In the three months to June 30th, the company posted an operating profit of 119 billion yen, which works out to roughly $1.1 billion. That is, however, a 17.3 percent drop compared to the 144 billion yen ($1.3 billion) posted this time last year, when people were mandated to spend much more time indoors.
