OSAKA (Reuters) - Nintendo Co Ltd (T:7974) cut its operating profit forecast for the year ending March to 20 billion yen (140.7 million pounds) from 30 billion yen, though a weaker yen and revenue from mobile gaming helped the videogames maker to its first quarterly profit in a year.
October-December profit reached 32.3 billion yen from 33.5 billion yen a year earlier, the Japanese firm said on Tuesday.
That compared with a Thomson Reuters Starmine SmartEstimate of 30.71 billion yen drawn from six analyst forecasts.
