Nintendo has released its full-year financial results, revealing a significant increase in net sales and profits driven by the successful launch of the Switch 2. The company also announced price hikes for the new console in various regions due to market conditions like ongoing memory component shortages. These adjustments are factored into Nintendo's FY27 forecast, which reflects the strong sales performance of the Switch 2 compared to previous hardware releases.
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Nintendo reported a 98.6% surge in net sales to $14.6 billion, with operating profit up by 27.5% to $2.2 billion. Looking ahead, the company forecasts a decrease in net sales for FY27, attributing it to higher launch-year sales of the Switch 2. Despite the anticipated decline, Nintendo remains optimistic about the console's growth in its second year post-launch.
Nintendo highlighted the success of the Switch 2, noting its strong start and surpassing sales of previous Nintendo platforms. Titles like Pokémon Pokopia and Mario Kart World contributed to the hardware's success, with software sales reaching millions of units. The company also emphasized the performance of digital sales and its IP-related businesses, showcasing the broader reach of Nintendo's offerings beyond traditional gaming.
