Price conversions are estimated prices from XE and are rounded.
Nintendo said it is investing ¥100 billion JPY (or about $880 million USD / $1.1B CAD) into software development, while $440M US / CA$5.48M is going into non-gaming avenues. Additionally, The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack just came out at the end of October.

Nintendo will try to remedy this by putting in ¥300 JPY (roughly $2.6 billion US / $CA32.37B) to in improve the Nintendo Switch Online experience, as well as Nintendo Accounts and My Nintendo.
