Pokemon Go Hololens

Clearly there will be no consumer interest in Hololens and AR.

The top video is a peek at Pokemon go in Hololens. (unlikely to be through the device itself, but rendered on another computer screen.) Remember when you're seeing it in person it will all be 3D -- a dimension that can't be appreciated looking at it on screen.

The bottom video is Pokemon Go players chasing some Pokemonster through the streets of Taipei.

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.
