Nintendo has declared a 34 per cent rise in net income for the quarter ending June 30- with the success of the Wii held up as the key reason.
Although it appears that the phenomenally popular Nintendo DS' sales are finally levelling out ('only' 680,000 a month now), the Wii has continued to corner the family and causal gaming market.
DS and Wii
Net income for the quarter was 107.2 billion yen (£49.9 million for the quarter, which helped operating profits move up by 32 per cent.
Of course the Wii's success was central with hardware sales up 51 per cent - possibly because there now appears to be stock in the shops.
DS sales for the quarter dipped slightly to 6.94 million units - taking the total unit sales to a whopping 77.54 million worldwide.
