Quarterly sales for the first fiscal quarter ended June 30 were 572.363 billion yen, up 132% from 246.638 billion a year earlier. Profit for the quarter was 96.032 billion yen, up 18.6% from 80.954 billion yen a year earlier.

Presumably, the strong sales of 5.82 million Switch 2 units in the first couple of months drove the sales increase, but since hardware carries a lot of costs, the profits didn’t rise by the same percentage. Still, it’s a great start for the new hardware.
