Nintendo profits rise to $2.7bn despite Switch sales slowdown — Mario Wonder hits 12 million, Tears passes 20 million, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is now sitting at over 60 million units sold. The Switch is now the best-selling system of all time in Japan . All good numbers, but both hardware and software sales are down year on year — expected this late in the cycle though.
