Nintendo On Tuesday, he reported the results of the highest and weaker than those who are expected to the third quarter of the financial quarter, which led to a reduction in its expectations for the Switch Console Before launching his success.
Here is how Nintendo did in the third fiscal quarter on December 31 for LSEG estimates:
- profit: 432.92 billion yen ($ 2.8 billion), compared to 498.22 billion yen expected.
- Net profit: 128.53 billion yen, compared to 136.16 billion yen expected.
The net profit decreased by 6 % on an annual basis.
Although Nintendo’s quarterly results were lost expectations, all eyes develop in relation to the Japanese giant Switch 2 engine, which is the Switch caliph, which was first released in 2017, and became one of the most popular keyboards of Giant Giant in history .
Nintendo last month disturbed the switch 2 in a trailer that appears on the devices. It is worth noting that Nintendo announced that some Switch games will be compatible with Switch 2. The company has not yet announced the price or date of the release of the new control unit, but it said that more details will be revealed at the Nintendo Direct event on April 2.
Nintendo tried to keep momentum to switch by launching slightly updated versions of it and enhancing the attractiveness of her characters such as Super Mario through movies. However, interest in the 8 -year -old control unit has begun to fade.
Before Switch 2, Nintendo reduced a number of predictions of the entire year of the year that ends on March 31.
Nintendo said it is now expecting 11 million units of the current control unit for the switch, with a decrease from a pre -estimated estimate of 12.5 million units. The company also said that it sees a net profit of 270 billion yen, with 10 % of the previous 300 billion expectations.
In a quarterly, Nintendo sold 4.82 million switch control units, raising the total for the current fiscal year to 9.54 million units. This decreased 30.6 % on an annual basis.
Switching the success of “a double -edged sword”
Nintendo Switch has sold 150.86 million units of switching since its launch, making it the second successful console of the company, behind Nintendo DS for 154.02 million units.
The key to success was the 129 million annual players who bought a steady flow of Nintendo annual games, which include well -known brands such as Pokemon and characters like Zelda and Super Mario.
But Nintendo has an accurate challenge now convinced its users of the need to upgrade to Switch 2, according to George Gigshvili, the chief keynote analyst in OMdia.
“The tremendous success in switching is a double -edged sword,” said Gigiachievili via the e -mail, adding that Nintendo “is in a good position to launch second -generation devices” given the huge user base.
“However, the biggest challenge is effectively the transition management – persuading users to upgrade to switch 2 while ensuring that they are sticking to the original key supported and participated.”
OMdia expects Switch 2 launch in the first half of 2025 with Nintendo 14.7 million units of the new console this year.
