Nintendo FY3/2025 Q2 Financial Results

DOCUMENTS

Financial Results Explanatory Material
Consolidated Financial Highlights

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Switch sells 2.62m units during Q2 (-10.6% down YoY)

  • Switch LTD sales have reached 146.04m

The big new to me is Nintendo has revised its Switch hardware forecast down from 13.5m to 12.5m. That tells me a couple of things I will discuss in a later post. Software was also reduced by 5m units from 165m to 160m:

I felt it would be challenging for Nintendo to hit it’s 13.5m target after last quarter’s results:

Switch hardware forecast remains 13.5m. Meaning Nintendo would have to ship 11.4 million units during the rest of the fiscal year. Many on Twitter/X have pointed out that the Switch sold 11.8 million units from July 2023 to March 2024 - meaning Switch sales from here on out would essentially have to match last years performance.

That’s going to be tough.
