Nintendo didn't touch the prices of the Nintendo Switch 2 and NSO subscription in the USA, but I wouldn't be so sure they would not do so in the future. — They're trying not to, but investors' pressure and current economic situation might make them do so. — www.nintendo.co.jp…

Some quick and superficial thoughts on Nintendo $NTDOY earnings before publishing something more detailed next week - FY 2026 earnings were pretty good, SW2 did very well in launch year despite no system seller outside of Pokemon Pokopia (which was a surprise system seller) - [im…

The big standout from Nintendo's earnings in terms of software is Pokémon Pokopia which has sold over 4m units in 5 weeks on a console with a less than 20m install base. With increased hardware prices, it'll be first party software that determines whether they beat their [image]

Nintendo's quarterly financial results were pretty good despite the bad news about the hardware price increase. Nintendo is forecasting lower Switch 2 hardware sales for Fiscal 2027, but still higher than what Switch achieved time aligned. [image]

Nintendo reporting that it expects a 100 billion yen ($640 million) impact this fiscal year (April 2026 - March 2027) as a result of rising component prices and tariffs. Based on the 16.5m unit forecast for Switch 2, that's around $40 in extra costs per console vs last year. [ima…

Console games are in a rough spot. Hardware is expensive, sales are floundering. Xbox was down, Playstation is going to probably have to delay its next generation. I said last year that the future of games is in networks / platforms. Roblox is one, Minecraft is another. This

NEW: see? told you. Nintendo needed to raise Switch 2's prices. Result for just-ended FY was weak, and outlook for this FY is surprisingly weak, even consider it tends to start a year with conservative forecast. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
