Overview

• Nintendo expects to sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles and 45 million software units by March 2026, following the console's June 5 global release.
• The Switch 2 will retail at $449.99 in the U.S., a significant price increase over its predecessor, and ¥49,980 in Japan.
• U.S. pre-orders were delayed due to trade tariffs under President Trump, with Nintendo warning that further tariff changes could affect pricing and demand.
• The original Switch sold 10.8 million units in FY2025, a 31% decline year-over-year, underscoring the need for a new hardware cycle.
• Despite diversification into theme parks and films, around 90% of Nintendo’s revenue remains tied to its console business.
