Nintendo is reaping the success of their latest console launch, the Switch 2, according to the numbers released in its latest earnings report.
The successor to the Switch was released in June this year, and broke console sales records during its first week.
The Japanese gaming titan is now reporting that 10.36 million units have been sold, with 19 million expected by the end of the financial year, finishing in March 2026.
This is up 4 million from a previous forecast.
Games exclusive to the Switch 2 have also been a boon, with 20.62 million games also sold since launch, though this increased forecast was less ambitious, with Switch 2 game sales expected to come in at 48 million instead of 45 million.
The combined success of the new handheld console, on the hardware and software fronts, has been benefiting Nintendo across the board, with the latest earnings report showing that profit rose more than 270% year-on-year, landing at JP¥102.9 billion against the ¥63.6 billion forecast.
Net profit also landed higher than expected at ¥102.9 billion compared to ¥63.6 billion expected.
At the time of writing, Nintendo (TYO: 7974) stock was trading at ¥12,945, easing 0.8% from Monday's close. Nintendo's market cap stands at ¥15.19 trillion (US$98.96 billion).
