Japanese video-game maker Nintendo's net profit jumped 85% in April-September from the previous year, as its sales more than doubled following the launch of its hit Switch 2 console in June.

Nintendo is stepping further away from its original Switch console, with the company now planning to dedicate most of its attention to its successor. In a financial results briefing on Wednesday, Nintendo said that “going forward, we will shift our primary development focus to Nintendo Switch 2 and expand our business around this new platform.”
