This year marks the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System) in Japan. Nintendo is in the unique position being possibly the only Japanese corporation which has been dedicated to the platform business for millions of consumers worldwide for 30 years. Our strong point is to offer integrally-designed hardware, systems and software. In order to sustain competitive edges for our platforms, it has become more and more important for us to smoothly transition between platforms which tends to cause a lot of trouble due to the scale and complexity of these transitions.

In this sense, our efforts to integrate platforms will have enormous implications.

Today we told you about our short-term plan for the operating profit we are aiming at for the next fiscal year and a mid-and-long term plan for our development structure to keep our platforms competitive in the market for a long time.

Thank you for listening.
