TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan's Nintendo on Thursday said it sold 3.91 million units of its Switch console in the April-June quarter, exceeding sales in the same period a year earlier, boosted by the runaway success of its latest "Zelda" title.
Investor sentiment has been buoyed by the breakout success of the "The Super Mario Bros. Movie", which leads this year's global box office ranking, and praise for video game "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" which went on sale in May.
