Nintendo:

Switch lifetime hardware sales have reached 68.3 million as of September, up from 61.44M last quarter.

Brings it to 12.53M sold this year to date. Nintendo's original annual target was 19M. It's now, more reasonably, 24M.

(It also passed NES, just under 62M overall.)
Nintendo:

Super Mario 3D All-Stars reached 5.21M copies sold in under two weeks.

Paper Mario: The Origami King debuted at 2.82M units as of September.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons lifetime unit sales hit 26.04M, still the 2nd best-selling Switch game behind MK8D at 28.99M.
Nintendo:

In the 1st half of FY21, net sales rose 73% to ~ $7.3B.

Operating income more than tripled to ~ $2.77B.

Digital comprised 47% of platform software sales, up from 36% last year.

Mobile/IP sales rose 34%.

Regional breakout:
Americas: 40.5%
Europe: 24.5%
Japan: 22.5%
Nintendo:

Time for charts!

When 1st looking at quarterly numbers, sales rose 51% YoY. Op Income more than doubled. (Above my estimate.)

The next are for trailing 12-month for even more perspective. Revenue is above $15.5B. OI over $5B.

Haven't seen a Q2 like this since 2009!
Nintendo:

Looking at Switch software, fiscal year sales crossed 100M units in Q2.

Nintendo's original annual target was 140M, now increased to 170M.

Lifetime software hit 456.5M.

Switch has 20 million-sellers in the 1st half of FY21 alone. 15 of which are Nintendo-published.
Nintendo:

Digging into Switch hardware, global sell-thru to consumers reached 63M in Q2.

(Compared to shipments of 68.3M.)

Results this quarter outpaced last year, which saw the launch of Switch Lite. And by a significant margin.

Supply certainly looks in-line with demand.
Nintendo:

Super Mario 3D All-Stars sell-thru of 3.5M in key markets outpaced both Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) & Odyssey in 4 weeks on market.

And I've said for a while one of the most quietly impressive stories this gen is MK8D.

Nintendo's stack of IP is basically unparalleled.
Nintendo:

Alright!

Time to conclude this thread with sharing its raised guidance for full-year through March '21.

Net sales forecast boosted 17%. Operating income up 50%!

Switch hardware now at 24M, up from 19M.
Software guidance increased 21% to 170M.

(That's more like it.)
Here's the link for Nintendo's latest results for those so inclined. (A good distraction from, well, life this week.)

I'll likely have more reactions later, after soaking it up throughout the morning.

Thanks all.
