Overview
- Nintendo disclosed on Thursday that Switch 2 has sold 26.35 million units to date while Switch totals 157.20 million units.
- Hardware shipments for April–September fell to 6.49 million Switch 2 units, a 37.4% drop from the same period last year.
- Operating profit for the first half rose 49.1% to ¥216.5 billion, driven by higher software and digital sales and a one‑time U.S. IEEPA tariff refund.
- The company reported a record ¥814.57 billion in inventory to hedge memory shortages, said it will not raise the Switch 2 price again, and kept a full‑year forecast of 16.5 million Switch 2 units.
- Nintendo is banking on major holiday releases such as the Ocarina of Time remake and other first‑party titles to restore console momentum and sustain software‑led earnings growth.
