Switch 2 Sales Drop 41% Year-on-Year in Second Fiscal Quarter
Nintendo announced that in its second fiscal quarter, which ended on September 30, Switch 2 console sales reached only 2.67 million units, a 41% decline year-on-year and a noticeable drop from the 3.82 million units sold in the previous quarter. Rising prices for memory chips pushed up costs, prompting Nintendo to raise prices in multiple regions. Revenue came in at 448.2 billion yen and net profit at 73.5 billion yen, both below market expectations.
The company still maintains its sales target of 16.5 million units for the fiscal year ending March 2027. The market hopes that the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, released on Thursday, will drive future sales.
