Nintendo announced it anticipates selling 15 million units of the Switch 2 during its upcoming fiscal year launch, citing its high price point as a factor for conservative projections. The company's president noted that while their estimates aim to match the original Switch's sales, higher costs could challenge early adoption. Despite recent US tariffs, Nintendo clarified that trade issues did not impact their forecasts, emphasizing strategies like bundling software to facilitate quicker market penetration and consumer acceptance.
Nintendo Switch 2 is priced relatively high compared to Nintendo Switch, so we recognize that there are corresponding challenges to early adoption.
We are taking steps like bundling software with the hardware to accelerate adoption in the first fiscal year, aiming to get off to the same start we did with Nintendo Switch.
The limits of our hardware production capacity were not a factor in setting our sales volume forecast.
Furthermore, the tariff situation in the U.S. or a possibility of a recession did not affect our projections.
