Nintendo (OTC Pink:NTDOF) has reported its earnings for Q2 fiscal year 2026, covering July through September, and the results are a clear sign of the runaway success of its latest console, the Nintendo Switch 2. Following a blockbuster launch in early June, the Japanese gaming giant has significantly raised its sales forecast for the device.
Since its release on June 5, 2025, the Switch 2 has sold 10.36 million units, far surpassing the early momentum of its predecessor. For comparison, the original Nintendo Switch sold 4.7 million units during a similar post-launch period in 2017.
Nintendo now expects to sell 19 million Switch 2 units by the end of its fiscal year on March 31, 2026, up from its previous estimate of 15 million. This represents a more than 25 per cent increase in projected sales, fueled by strong consumer demand and robust supply chain performance.
To meet soaring demand, Nintendo plans to ramp up production, targeting 25 million units manufactured by March 2026. The company’s revised forecast signals confidence in maintaining momentum through the holiday season and beyond, as major titles and third-party support continue to bolster the platform.
The Switch 2 launch marked Nintendo’s most significant hardware release in years, introducing upgraded performance, enhanced visuals, and backward compatibility with existing Switch titles. Despite the tariffs, this is the fastest-selling gaming console of all time. Analysts suggest that the console’s early success positions Nintendo strongly against competitors in the next-gen gaming market.
With headquarters in Kyoto, Japan Nintendo Co., Ltd. is a multinational video game company that develops, publishes and releases video games and video game consoles.
Analysts’ consensus rating for Nintendo is to hold the stock, based on six buy, three hold, and three sell ratings over the past three months, representing a potential upside over 7 per cent for the shares to US$94.77, which is US$6 higher than where it is now.
Nintendo stock (OTC Pink:NTDOF) opened trading down 0.74 per cent at US$88.00 but has risen 50.04 per cent since the year began.
