Nintendo’s stock is poised for a bullish run after the gaming giant reported staggering quarterly results, driven by the explosive launch of its Switch 2 console. The hybrid device sold over 6 million units in under two months—surpassing internal forecasts—with 3.5 million shipped in just the first four days. Revenue skyrocketed 132% year-over-year to ¥572.36 billion ($3.34 billion), while net profit rose 18.6% to ¥96 billion ($560 million). Despite supply constraints, the company maintains its full-year target of 15 million units, banking on pent-up demand for the upgraded console, which retails at €470 ($510), a 62% premium over its predecessor.
Strategic Exclusivity Defies Industry Trends
Nintendo’s reliance on first-party titles like Mario Kart and its hybrid hardware model continues to pay off, even as competitors pivot to cloud gaming. The Switch 2’s timing capitalized on the original console’s technical limitations, with analysts noting its resilience amid global trade tensions. Operating profit beat expectations at ¥56.9 billion ($332 million), reinforcing investor confidence. The firm projects annual net profit of ¥300 billion ($1.75 billion), signaling sustained growth in its niche market.
