Nintendo this morning posted their full earnings for the past year, and it confirms that the company is firmly back into profitibality, even if actual hardware sales remain below 'Nintendo-like' numbers.

The headline is that the company made a net profit of 41.843 billion yen (about $350m) for the full year of April 2014 to March 2015. This markedly beat the official forecast of 30 billion yen, and even marginally beat late market expectations. The profit came from total full-year revenue of almost 550 billion yen, and also came despite a fourth quarter (Jan-Mar) net loss of 17.67 billion yen.

Despite the healthy profits, hardware sales remained quite low. Nintendo shipped just 3.38 million Wii U units the full year, taking lifetime sales to 9.54 million. However, they also shipped 25 million units of software, bringing lifetime software sales to 56.68 million units.

Nintendo 3DS sold 8.73 million units for the year, brining lifetime sales of the 3DS family to a respectable 52.06 million.

Finally, here is a list of all the first-party games to sell over a million copies in the year (with life-to-date figures in brackets if different):
