Just as expected, Nintendo has shared its financial report for the first quarter of the current fiscal year. Unfortunately, the news is not so positive, as the performance of the Switch was below expectations, something that shouldn’t be too surprising considering the times the console is in.
According to Nintendo, Switch sales increased by 141.32 million compared to the end of the last fiscal year.to 143.42 million by the end of last JuneThis means an increase of just over two million units, which is below what many expected and calls into question the Big N’s objectives for this year.
This represents a decrease of 46.3% compared to what was recorded during the same period last year.. However, it is important to note that in 2023 we saw the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomwhich helped sales of the Switch. This time around, there was no one that was capable of doing the same for the console.
Until now, Nintendo continues with its predictions of selling 13.5 million units by the end of March 2025. While many have questioned this, let’s remember that there are still a couple of interesting cards for the Switch in the future, such as Mario & Luigi Brotherhood and Metroid Prime 4: Beyondtitles that can convince more than one person to get one of these consoles.
For now, The Switch is positioned as Nintendo’s second most successful consolesecond only to the Nintendo DS and its 154 million units. In related news, Big N shares have fallen substantially in recent hours.
Author’s Note:
The Switch is in its final stages of life, so it’s no surprise that the console isn’t selling as well as it once did. However, its demise also symbolizes the dawn of a new console, and sooner or later we’ll have more details about this console’s successor.
