Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Projection: 15 Million Units and 13% Profit Rise
Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Expectation
Nintendo on Thursday announced plans to sell 15 million Switch 2 units and a projected operating profit increase of 13 percent to JPY 320 billion ($2.22 billion) for the fiscal year ending March. The Nintendo Switch 2, set to launch on June 5, 2025, is considered pivotal for Nintendo amidst ongoing supply chain challenges influenced by U.S. tariffs.
The console, which serves as a successor to the highly successful Switch, which sold over 150 million units, is anticipated to tap into a robust demand stronger than prior expectations. The forecast aligns with the company's cautious strategy.
Market Readiness
Nintendo paused U.S. pre-orders to evaluate tariff impacts but retained a pricing strategy of $449.99. This decision comes amidst an exit from an era of lower console costs, as rival companies like Microsoft and Sony recently increased their pricing.
Upcoming Titles
- Mario Kart World
- Other major releases
Nintendo projects 45 million software sales for the Switch 2 in the current financial year, emphasizing a focus on strong software titles alongside hardware sales.
