Nintendo expects to sell 15 million Switch 2s and 45 million games this fiscal year
Nintendo wrapped up a rough year on Thursday, reporting a 43% plunge in net profit and a 30% drop in revenue for the 12 months ending March 31. Its ADRs are down more than 6% in early Thursday trading.
But with less than a month until the Switch 2 launches on June 5, all eyes are on Nintendo’s future.
Nintendo expects net profit to rise about 8% and net sales to spike 63% in fiscal year 2026.
The Mario maker said it expects to sell 15 million Switch 2 units in its current fiscal year (ending next March 31), along with 45 million games. The company isn’t giving up on its 8-year-old original Switch console either, forecasting it’ll sell another 4.5 million consoles and 105 million games in the period.
The original Switch, which appears on its way to surpassing the DS as Nintendo’s bestselling console ever, sold nearly 18 million units in its first 13 months.
