Nintendo expects to sell 15 million Nintendo ꧃Switch 2 systems in the coming year, the video game company said Thursday.

Nintendo released the estimate weeks after pre-orders of the gaming console began. The Japan-based business 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:delayed pre-sales in early April to give itself time to assess the U.S.’s new import taxes. When pre-orders began late last month, gamers said 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:retailers' websites struggled to keep up with traffic and merchants quickly sold o🅷ut of the second-generation Switch console.

The 15 million estimate assumes U.S. tariffs remain unchanged from April 10 levels, according to Nintendo.

Demand for the Switch 2’s precursors澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: has fallen, with the company selling 10.8 million consoles in fiscal year 🌱2025 compared to 15.7 million a year earlier, according to company results for the fiscal year ended March 31. 

Nintendo projects it will sell 4ღ5 million games designed specifically for the Switch 2 and 105 million older games, the company said. The total projection of 150 million games is down slightly from the roughly 155 million sold in fiscal 2025.

In its most recent fiscal year, Ni𝓡ntendo’s sales hit 1.16 trillion yen ($8 billion U.S. dollars), a 30.3% decline from 2024. It made 278.8 billion yen ($1.91 million USD) in profit or 43.2% less than the year prior, the company said.

Nintendo envisions bouncing back in the coming year. Its outlook projects൩ 1.9 trillion yen ($13 billion USD) in sales, and 300 b🐈illion yen ($2.06 billion in USD) in profit for fiscal year 2026.

U.S.-traded shares of Nintendo (NTDOY) were down about 5% Thursday. They have gained more than 60% over the past year.
