Nintendo has reported a significant 51 per cent surge in profit for the first three quarters of its fiscal year, driven by the continued success of its revamped Switch 2 console.
The Japanese video-game giant announced a profit of 358.9 billion yen (£1.9 billion) for the April-December period, a substantial increase from 237 billion yen recorded during the same timeframe a year prior. Sales nearly doubled, climbing 99 per cent to 1.9 trillion yen (£10.1 billion), fuelled by robust demand for the Switch 2, which launched last year.
