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.
