We had proposed Nintendo DSi as a system that each one of the family members can own as his or her personal gaming machine and take it with them anywhere. In the case of Nintendo DSi LL, because the dimensions have become bigger and it is heavier by about 100 grams, it has become a little less convenient to carry around. Instead, we are proposing that Nintendo DSi LL will find a steady place on a table in the living room and become a must-have item for any household that can be shared by anyone in the family.


When the customers purchase Nintendo DSi LL, it will already have preinstalled software. More specifically, there will be two titles, which are available as Nintendo DSiWare, called "Little Bit of Brain Training Literature Edition," and "Little Bit of Brain Training Math’s Edition," and a new Japanese dictionary called "Meikyo Kokugo Rakubiki Jiten," which will even recognize handwritten Japanese characters that you cannot pronounce, will also be preinstalled with Nintendo DSi LL.


Brain Training series have become a social phenomena, and we have rearranged the software by adding new training to make these new Little Bit of Brain Training software.


And, we are hopeful these software will be enjoyed by many people.


The Meikyo Kokugo Rakubiki dictionary will be a very handy application when you have a Nintendo DSi LL on a table in a living room as the Nintendo DS for the family.


We are scheduling to launch Nintendo DSi LL on November 21 in Japan at 20,000 yen including tax.

With the launch of this new product, we would like to further expand the sales of the Nintendo DS series.


Lastly, please let me briefly explain the revision of our yearly forecast.


First, we have revised the estimated currency exchange ratio to a higher yen against U.S. dollars, in the latter half and at the end of the fiscal year.


We have also revised the unit sales estimate of major hardware and software products.
Sales estimate of Nintendo DS hardware was not revised, but that of Nintendo DS software was revised from 180 million units to 150 million.
Wii hardware sales forecast was revised from 26 million units to 20 million, and that of Wii software was revised from 220 million units to 180 million.
The lower revisions on Nintendo DS software, Wii hardware and software are taking into consideration the underperformance of sales against our estimate through the mid-term and estimates of software orders from third party companies, even though we are trying to further enhance the sales with price cut of Wii console and strong software titles.


Based on them, we have revised the earning forecast of this fiscal year.
Now we estimate net sales of 1 trillion 500 billion yen, operating income and ordinary income of 370 billion yen and net income of 230 billion yen. We estimate year-end dividend of 690 yen per share and 960 yen on a yearly basis.


Thank you very much for your attention.
