Things to do
0. Start-up problem
1. Install base build-up
2. Software distribution
Characteristics unseen on other home consoles
1. Higher penetration per house hold . In other
words, the average number of NX might be higher
than those of other home consoles with statistical
significance
2. Higher contact rate in diffusion due to mobility
3. Additional demand side network effect due to
physical interaction in local network
Gaming console is a platform
1. Nintendo is a platform builder/governor
2. Control of hardware is key
What is the most lucrative
part in the market for
financial investors of a
gaming platform builder?

Difficult to estimate
• Heavily depends on product cycle
• Requires assumptions such as TAM, adoption
pattern , tie ratio … for console business and MAU,
ARPPU, paying user… for mobile gaming
• Switch just about to launch and mobile gaming just
about to take off : might be too early
• DCF-based or earnings multiple-based valuation
method, timeframe will be relatively long
Installment Year1: lucrative and less risky to bet on the success of NX

Some results
Insights from this exercise Post-investment management: tracking
• If traction of NX to be : 2m/3m/3m/5m in
1Q/2Q/3Q/4Q17 -> very promising
• Local network effect might be detected by
exponential growth and weak seasonality
• One year might be enough to determine TAM
• Key risk: supply/production issue
• Get actual result to check p, q and TAM
• Get user experience feedback and check social part
of news about NX after launch
• Focus on information about supply/production if any
• If it delivers better than expect, be prepared for a
boom-bust cycle

So… What’s the value of Nintendo???
• Valuation for this company is difficult if
possible
• Target price is possible, just check with
your favorite analyst
• No TP for this thesis but a target horizon
• Some might try to estimate private market
value, liquidation value or rebuild value.
Nice exercise if you think those events will
happen in the foreseeable future or you
have a way to unlock the value …
• Value estimated above (liquidation value…)
should only be used as upside potential
rather than downside protection ( might
become a value trap)

below NAV: value

27. For those who love charts
• If Nintendo does nothing and stays at
25000 Yen, MA25 will reach MA75 on
3/29
• Information and events during this
period that might make price depart
from 25000 Yen:
• Sell-through
• Management interview
• Splatoon 2 Global TestFire 3/24-26
• Restock at My Nintendo Store 3/27
Revisit after 3/29

29. LT confidence enhancement from established investor
Next day: mkt participants taking profit?
ADR was relatively strong
Comment
• Large long position from active management firm (are they?) is generally positive
• As they need more time to accumulate and then to distribute, they are more likely to focus on longer term
• The stock should be well researched (hopefully) before building meaningful position so it might be an
opportunity to free ride their work
• However, large position might be viewed as stock price driver before disclosing so stock price might be volatile once
specific manager’s position is reported. This might attract more buyers or signals short term profit taking
opportunity to sellers
30. Beginning of TAM consensus revision
Yui Nausicaa
2017/3/18, Last update 4/6
Reminder: this is an intellectual exercise
yuinausicaa@yahoo.com
31. WSJ as the first one to report the “production expansion”
• Apr17-Mar18
Production plan: 8m->16m at least
Suggesting Nintendo believes to sell significantly
more than 10m in this period
First year 10m is regarded a threshold
Production plan beats most analysts’
expectation
• Mar17 shipment might be 2.5m or more
Takeaway
Comment
• “First year”(depending on definition) estimation
ranges from 5m-10m clustering around 8m-10m
• First year sales consensus gets moved by this
news. After incorporating positive sell-through
and business briefing in April, consensus will
quickly gravitate to a new one. Might be described
as following the Wii path and eventually leading to
TAM consensus revision
• Information sources -> first year consensus -> TAM
consensus. Upward revision is more likely but
should focus on actual execution and adoption
