Nintendo has announced their earnings for the second fiscal quarter (through September 30, so no Mario Odyssey effects), and the Switch is rising to heaven.

The new console managed to increase production and sales compared with last quarter, selling 2.92m Switches worldwide and prompting a 40% increase in their estimates for sales of the system. The 3DS family saw a bit of a spike from the New 2DSXL and sold 1.96m units, leading to a healthy profit for Nintendo.

Financial Indicators (Note: All yen / US$ comparisons based on current exchange rate as of press time: US$1 = ¥113. These conversions are for clarification only, and are based on six months of sales.)

• Ordinary net income: ¥69.591 billion ($611.879 million)
• Operating income: ¥39.961 billion ($351.418 million)
• Net sales: ¥374.041 billion (~$3.29 billion), of which approximately 73% were "overseas" (outside Japan)
• Mobile revenue: ¥17.9 billion ($157.473 million), 426% increase over the same period last year
• Download sales: ¥22.8 billion ($200.580 million), 55% increase
