TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Nintendo Co. on Tuesday raised its 2006/07 net profit forecast by 20.5 percent, beating market expectations, thanks to strong sales of its DS hand-held video game player and a weaker-than-expected yen.

The company lifted its sales forecast for the Nintendo DS device by 18 percent and said the revision also includes its latest estimates for its new Wii game console, which is scheduled to go on sale in the United States in November.
