Nintendo said first-quarter revenue surged 132 percent to ¥572.3 billion ($3.8 billion) after the June debut of the Switch 2, its first new console in eight years. Operating profit rose 4 percent to ¥56.9 billion, while net profit climbed 19 percent to ¥96.0 billion, both topping analyst estimates. The company sold 5.82 million Switch 2 units in the 26 days to June 30 and more than six million within seven weeks of launch, making it Nintendo’s fastest-selling hardware to date. Launch title Mario Kart World shipped 5.63 million copies, giving the game an attachment rate of about 97 percent and driving total software sales for the quarter to 8.67 million units. Despite the blistering start, Kyoto-based Nintendo kept its forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 unchanged, including plans to sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles and earn ¥300 billion in net profit. Management said recent U.S. tariff measures and other market changes have not materially affected the outlook, though analysts warn potential price increases could weigh on margins later in the year.
