TOKYO (Reuters) -Nintendo on Friday said operating profit grew 4% to 56.9 billion yen ($378 million) in the April-June quarter, beating analyst estimates.
The Kyoto-based gaming company said it sold 5.82 million units of the Switch 2, which went on sale on June 5, during the quarter.
The successor to the hit home-portable Switch gaming device launched in the midst of U.S Donald Trump’s trade war, testing Nintendo’s supply chain management.
Nintendo maintained its full-year sales forecast of 15 million Switch 2 units.
