Just as expected, Nintendo The financial report of the first quarter of the current financial year has been shared. Unfortunately, the news is not so positive, as the performance of the Switch was less than expected, Something that shouldn’t be too surprising considering the console era.
According to Nintendo, Switch sales increased from the end of last fiscal year to 141.32 million143.42 million at the end of last June. That means growth of just two million units, less than many expected, and calls into question the Big N’s intentions for this year.
This represents a 46.3% decrease compared to the record for the same period last year. However, it is important to highlight that in 2023 we saw the launch The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which helped sell the Switch. There was no one equally capable of consoles on this occasion.
so far, Nintendo continues to forecast sales of 13.5 million units by the end of March 2025.. Although many have questioned this, let’s remember that there are still a few interesting cards for the Switch in the future, ie Mario and Luigi Brotherhood y Metroid Prime 4: BeyondTitles that could convince more than one person to get one of these consoles
for now, The Switch is positioned as Nintendo’s second successful console, behind only the Nintendo DS and its 154 million units. On a related note, Gran N shares have dropped significantly in recent hours.
Author’s Note:
The Switch is at the end of its life, so it’s no surprise that the console isn’t selling like it used to. However, its fall also symbolizes the dawn of a new console, and sooner or later we will have more details about this console’s successor.
