Nintendo has published its third quarter sales results and financially things are looking great! For the first three quarters of the year, net sales came in at about $9.17 billion (up 16.4% year-over-year). Operating profit was $2.02 billion (up 40.6% over last year), and ordinary profit was $2.21 billion (up 23.5%).

The real star of the show is the Switch software results. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is now the fastest selling Nintendo game of all time with over 12 million sold in just 3 weeks on the market.
