In recent years we have seen how nintendo has become one of the most important companies worldwide, and the Japanese company has managed to reach the top of the video games maintaining what they have been doing for a long time. But now they have lowered the forecasts of sale of your main hardware, the switchuntil March of next year, since they have recorded that two million fewer units have been sold compared to the same period last year, indicating that they have suffered a large drop in net profit compared to said period.
Many of the companies dedicated to the sale of hardware related mainly to video game consoles register a large number of sales on a quarterly basis, since more and more users choose to get a console to enjoy their favorite titles. But the biggest problem with this type of device is the sales they have throughout the generation, since they tend to drop quite a bit when the end of the cycle approaches, something that we can currently see with the arrival of the PS5 Pro and which we don’t even know about. Even Nintendo is spared, since they sell fewer and fewer consoles.
Nintendo sells less hardware, and we all know the real reason
During the last few days Nintendo has published a new report that indicates the net income they have had, indicating that compared to the previous year they have had much lower profits, since a large part of the money they have obtained comes from the sale of their console. As we well know, the switch It is a device that has been on the market for a long time, and it has been almost eight years since the first model of the console was launched, and three since the version arrived. OLEDhaving sold more than 140 million units among all models.
But in this case, the company is significantly lowering its sales forecast until March of next year, since as they have indicated, during this period of the Japanese fiscal year, they have registered a considerable drop in sales with respect to their console. During the same period last year the company would have sold 6.8 million consoles worldwide, but currently they have indicated that the figure has dropped quite a bit, 2.1 million to be exact, since they have recorded a total of sales of 4.7 million units , showing that little by little the console is losing popularity.
Overall, the company has estimated that the total number of consoles sold will be 7% lower compared to last year, reducing expectations to 12.5 million units. In this case the reason why it registers fewer sales is what we can all imagine, there is less and less left for the nintendo switch 2 since we could practically see it next year, being one of the main reasons why many people have chosen to wait for the new version to be released.
