Nintendo sticks with Switch 2 forecast as Q3 profits climb

Nintendo kept its full-year Switch 2 sales forecast at 19 million units for the year ending March 2026 after a fiscal Q3 where revenue rose 86% year over year to 806.32 billion yen and net profit rose 24% to 159.93 billion yen (above consensus on profit). The Switch 2 has sold 17.37 million units so far, including 7 million in the December quarter, with Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza driving demand; upcoming titles Mario Tennis Fever (Feb) and Pokémon Pokopia (Mar) and a Super Mario Galaxy movie (Apr) are aimed at sustaining momentum. Investors remain wary of potential memory-price headwinds that could hit profitability, though Nintendo says pricing and bundles could offset higher component costs as it targets a broader mass market.
