Read the story

Nintendo reported total Switch 2 sales of 26.35 million units by September 30. This includes 6.49 million sold during the six months from April to September.

In that six-month period, Nintendo’s overall revenue fell 12.1% compared with a year earlier. However, operating profit rose 49.1%.

The company said games made up a larger share of sales. A refund of US tariffs also helped profit. These results cover Nintendo’s wider business, not only the Switch 2 console.
