reported yesterday that Nintendo has lifted its net profit forecast today for the fiscal year that ended in March.

The new forecast is a net profit of USD $841 million, which is up from the USD $611 million forecast made in November.

Nintendo's previous record fiscal year (ending a year ago March) garnered Nintendo a profit of $738 million.

Despite the net profit increase, Nintendo lowered its SALES estimate to USD $4.2 billion (from $4.4) due to the GBA price cut and GameCube game delays.

Here in Europe we will probably crick the Net Profits a bit more up also after the 3rd of May. Congrats Nintendo!
