Nintendo's quarterly profit rose to 119.19 billion yen ($1.1 billion), up 31.5% from 90.63 billion yen a year ago. Net profit rose 33.7% to 107.27 billion yen on sales of 423.38 billion yen, up 24.4%. Strong sales of its Wii game system helped the numbers, while sales of its DS portable game system -- which has sold 77.5 million units to date -- dropped for the quarter. The Wii outsold Sony's (SNE) PlayStation 3 and Microsoft's (MSFT) Xbox 360.
The urge to play is a terrible thing to waste.
