Nintendo flags memory-cost risk to Switch 2 profitability next fiscal year

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said memory-price rises have not yet hit Switch 2 profitability in the latest quarter, but warned the trend could pressure margins if it extends into the next fiscal year. The company is securing memory supplies long-term, has not decided on a hardware price change, and plans to grow the installed base while holding higher-than-usual inventory to guard against potential supply disruptions.

Memory costs cloud Switch 2 pricing doubts as Nintendo reports mixed sales

Nintendo CEO Shuntaro Furukawa said rising memory costs could pressure Switch 2 profitability in the next fiscal year, but near-term hardware profitability has not been hit and no price changes are decided yet. Domestic Switch 2 sales surpassed expectations while overseas performance was slightly weaker, helped by new holiday titles like Pokemon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and Kirby Air Riders.

Nintendo Weighs Switch 2 Price Hike as Memory Costs Rise

Nintendo reports strong Switch 2 demand with 17.37 million units sold since June 2025 and a forecast of 19 million for the year, but president Shuntaro Furukawa says a price increase is being “carefully considered” after reviewing platform adoption, sales trends, costs, profitability and market conditions. Rising memory prices could pressure profits in the next fiscal year, though there are no immediate risks for the current year. Nintendo will monitor the situation and provide updates as needed.

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.
