Units shipped. Quarterly and full-year figures use the maker's reported period totals where included; other period figures are calculated from published cumulative totals. Because published numbers are rounded, calculated periods and percentage changes can differ from the maker's directly reported figures. Nintendo's fiscal year runs from April to March.
