Japanese video game company Nintendo reports rising profit, falling sales

Strong digital game and film sales helped offset weaker hardware demand and higher memory-chip costs, while Nintendo kept its annual profit forecast unchanged.

  • On Thursday, Nintendo reported mixed financial results, with first-half profit rising to 220.9 billion yen while second-quarter net profit fell 29 percent to 73.5 billion yen .
  • Switch 2 sales dropped 41 percent to 2.67 million units in the quarter as the company increased prices to offset soaring memory chip costs used in everyday electronics.
  • Overall sales for the six-month period slipped 12 percent to 966 billion yen, yet Nintendo leveraged steady demand for software titles like 'Star Fox' and 'Splatoon Raiders'.
  • Following the report, stocks rose 6.3 percent in Tokyo on Thursday as the company maintained its annual net profit forecast of 310 billion yen through March 2027.
  • Leveraging its existing hardware and software, Nintendo aims to expand engagement, with upcoming releases including 'Grand Theft Auto VI' and 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' remake.
