One of my favorite gaming devices.... 500% profit jump

The Verge



Nintendo sold just over 15 million Switch consoles in the last financial year, matching its own raised expectations after a hugely successful launch. The company initially planned to ship 10 million in the year from April 2017, then upped its forecast to 14 million last October, then again to 15 million in January. The total amount sold since its March 3rd, 2017 release is now 17.79 million, outstripping the 13.56 million the Wii U sold over its five years of production.
Overall, Nintendo made 178 billion yen ($1.62 billion) in operating profit for the year, a massive 505-percent increase on the previous 12 months. Revenue increased 116 percent to 1.06 trillion yen ($9.66 billion). Nintendo sold over 10 million copies of Super Mario Odyssey, 9 million copies of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and 6 million copies of Splatoon 2, alongside more than 5 million units of the SNES Classic Edition.

Switch.... craving an embedded PicoP

This is awesome.

Will be better with focus-free and embedded with better resolution.... 





One of the coolest things about the Switch is the fact that it can, you know, switch. Slap a half of a Joy-Con controller on either side and you can game anywhere you want, or drop the Switch in the included dock and it instantly becomes a home gaming console. Of course, the device’s 6.2-inch screen is fun for a quick game on the go, but it’s a little small for real gaming sessions.
Now, what if we told you that there’s a way to easily convert any Nintendo Switch console into the king of portable gaming, complete with a display that can be used anywhere and measures up to 120 inches diagonally? Trust us, you’re going to want to check this out.
A YouTuber has put together a quick video that runs through all of the simple add-ons you’ll need to transform your Nintendo Switch into the ultimate portable gaming rig. In a nutshell, you’ll need three main things (and only two of them are actually necessary).
