Nintendo Rules Out Further Switch 2 Price Rises as Console Sales and Profit Fall

Nintendo has ruled out further Switch 2 price rises while reporting falling console sales and reduced profit.

According to Bloomberg, operating profit fell 16% to 73.9 billion ‌yen (approx. $467 million) during the three months to September 30, off the back of a 15% decline in sales. CNBC said Nintendo sold 2.67 million Switch 2 units in the quarter, down 41% from the same period last year and down from the 3.82 million units that were sold during the first quarter of the current financial year (April to June 2026). Nintendo raised the price of Switch 2 in September, fueled by the ongoing ‘RAMpocalypse’ that has also seen Microsoft and Sony raise the price of their consoles.

Despite this, Reuters reported that Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa insisted Nintendo had enough memory to meet its forecasted Switch 2 sales of 16.5 million units for the financial year ending March 2027, and is not considering further price changes.
