Nintendo's profit surges on Switch machine, software sales

Video games really are almost recession proof. Wide berth of prices, genres, and platforms to experience them on makes it an industry that’s almost always pulling in money or investment.

Especially Nintendo since they not only have a hardcore base but mindshare for all ages. Tie that up in a package that’s technically inferior, but vastly cheaper to make per unit than the higher end competitors and your smooth sailing.

now if only some publishers could stop making bad business decisions

Great news for Sony, and Nintendo gaming. We all think the weak yen is alway a bad thing but the yen was over 200 yen in the 1980s. It will also encourage our farmers to produce more food instead of importing, and maybe we could export some of that lovely rice, sake, etc etc. hopefully the Toyota, Nintendo, Sony Nissan, Honda, Kawasaki et al can share the profits in a bonus, so they can spend it in the shops, restaurants, and places.

Its hard on some industries but then again a strong yen is bad for exporters too.

my daughter is only responsible for like, 1/3 of this.

Good job Nintendo.

Good for the Japan games industries..

I don't know what that is, but any revenue for Japan is a good thing these days
