Nintendo revised its full-year outlook Tuesday, projecting revenue of ¥2.25 trillion ($15 billion) for the fiscal year ending March 2026, an 18% increase from its May forecast. The Kyoto-based gaming company now expects operating profit of ¥370 billion ($2.5 billion), up 16% from earlier guidance.
The revised projections follow a robust first half, with net sales reaching ¥1.1 trillion ($7.3 billion), more than doubling year-over-year results. Profit attributable to owners climbed 83% to ¥198.9 billion ($1.3 billion), though the figure includes a ¥32.3 billion ($215 million) gain from investment securities sales.
The Switch 2, launched in June, has sold 10.36 million units through September, prompting the company to raise its hardware forecast to 19 million units from 15 million. Mario Kart World moved 9.57 million copies, while Donkey Kong Bananza reached 3.49 million units.
Digital sales declined 3% to ¥155.5 billion ($1 billion), affected by currency fluctuations and reduced download-only software purchases. The company’s intellectual property business dropped 12% as movie-related revenue weakened.
Nintendo adjusted its euro exchange rate assumption to 160 yen from 155 yen, reflecting recent currency movements. The company maintained its dollar rate at 140 yen.
