Nintendo’s Switch Lite helps boost hardware sales by more than 50 percent www.theverge.com

Nintendo’s third-quarter earnings are out, and they reveal that the company sold 4.8 million Switch consoles between July and September, a year-on-year increase of just over 50 percent.
This quarter saw the release of the Switch Lite, a new handheld-only version of the console that can’t dock to a TV but costs $100 less.
The Lite sold 1.85 million units, while the regular Switch — which also got a new version with better battery life — sold 2.85 million.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses has sold 2.29 million units so far, while The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is up to 3.13 million units.
A special Pokémon edition of the Switch Lite will be released tomorrow in Japan and November 8th elsewhere.
