  • Nintendo lifted its full‑year Switch 2 forecast to 19 million units from 15 million for the fiscal year ending March 2026.
  • July–September revenue reached about 527.2 billion yen, and quarterly profit rose to 102.9 billion yen, topping market expectations of 63.6 billion yen.
  • Switch 2 has sold roughly 10.3 million units since its June launch, including about 4.5 million units in the July–September quarter.
