Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Exceed 10 Million Units Boosting Profit 85%

Nintendo has experienced a significant financial boost with an 83% to 85% increase in net profit and over a 100% surge in sales for the April-September 2025 period, largely driven by the successful launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. The console sold more than 10 million units within four months, outpacing the original Switch's sales pace, which took around ten months to reach the same milestone. Software sales for the Switch 2 were also strong, reaching over 20 million copies, with bestsellers including Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza. Nintendo has consequently raised its full-year forecast for both revenue, now expected at around $14.6-$14.7 billion, and profit, forecasted at approximately $2.3 billion, along with increasing its dividend payout. The company also boosted its Switch 2 sales target to 19 million units from the initial 15 million, reflecting sustained demand and confidence despite challenges such as US tariffs. Analysts expect Nintendo's earnings momentum to continue through the holiday season, supported by anticipated new titles in popular franchises like Pokemon and Kirby.
