Nintendo shares fell up to 9% to ¥6,895, becoming one of Nikkei 225’s worst performers despite index rise.
FY2025 operating profit rose 28% to ¥360 billion, but the ¥370 billion FY2026 outlook missed consensus of ¥480 billion.
Company projects FY2026 sales down 11.4% YoY to ¥2.05 trillion and Switch 2 unit sales falling to 16.5 million, below 19.86 million prior year.
Nintendo will raise Switch 2 retail price 7‑20% in Europe, US and Japan, citing memory‑chip shortages that also pressure margins.
