Overview
- President Shuntaro Furukawa says there are no current plans to raise Switch 2 prices, with any future decision reassessed only if costs stay elevated into the next fiscal year.
- Any potential price change would be judged comprehensively, weighing profitability alongside platform adoption, sales trends, and market conditions.
- Nintendo is holding long-term talks with memory suppliers to secure a stable supply of components for the console.
- The recent jump in memory prices did not significantly affect Q3 hardware profitability, and the company does not expect a significant impact in Q4.
- Switch 2 sales outperformed expectations in Japan and were slightly weaker overseas, as RAM costs climb largely due to heavy buying by AI data centers.
