Overview
- Nintendo reported Thursday that net profit for April–June rose to ¥147.4 billion, a 53.5% year-on-year increase that topped analyst expectations.
- Switch 2 shipped 3.82 million units in the quarter and reached 23.68 million lifetime sales as of June 30, but quarterly hardware sell-through fell 34.4% from the prior-year period.
- Software and IP revenue powered results with 9.46 million Switch 2 game sales in the quarter and standout hits such as Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream selling about 7.94 million copies.
- The company recorded a roughly $300 million U.S. tariff refund as a one-time boost and has raised Switch 2 prices in Japan (May 25) with a U.S. increase set for Sept. 1 to offset rising memory and component costs.
- Nintendo left its fiscal-year forecast unchanged and said it will lean on a steady slate of first-party releases and film and licensing income to sustain momentum while analysts flag the need for another major exclusive and warn of continued component-cost risks.
