Nintendo profits jump 400% thanks to the Switch and ‘Animal Crossing’
CNNHong Kong CNN Business — Nintendo sales are still soaring. The company said it made 145 billion yen in operating profit for the quarter ended June, marking a 428% surge compared to the same time a year ago. It added that the game was its bestseller this quarter, “contributing greatly to the overall growth in software sales.” Nintendo has sold 22.4 million copies of “Animal Crossing” overall, putting it just under Nintendo’s best-selling game of all time, “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.” That title has racked up 26.7 million sales. The company released another new Switch game, “Paper Mario: The Origami King,” last month. “We will work to keep the platform active with new titles and by reinforcing sales of popular titles that have already been released,” the company said.
