Nintendo has released its financial report for November 2025, covering the first two quarters of the fiscal year up to September. The report highlights a robust performance in both hardware and software sales for the Nintendo Switch 2, as well as continued success for the original Switch.
During this period, Nintendo reported an operating profit of 145.1 billion yen and an ordinary profit of 236.0 billion yen. The Nintendo Switch 2, which launched on June 5, has already sold a remarkable 10.36 million units of hardware and 20.62 million units of software. Notably, the newly released Mario Kart World has become a standout title, racking up 9.57 million units sold since its launch, while Donkey Kong Bananza has also performed well with 3.49 million units sold.
In total, the original Nintendo Switch has sold 154.01 million hardware units and 1,452.79 million software units, with the latest quarter alone accounting for 1.89 million Switch hardware sales — including 0.55 million standard units, 0.91 million OLED units, and 0.43 million Switch Lite units.
Nintendo’s digital sales for its dedicated gaming platforms totaled 155.5 billion yen, reflecting a small decline of 2.8% year-on-year, attributed to foreign exchange impacts and softer sales of download-only content. The company’s IP-related income also fell by 12.4% to 33.3 billion yen, primarily due to reduced revenue from movie-related ventures.
Overall, Nintendo’s sales in this reporting period reached 1,099.5 billion yen, with international sales accounting for a substantial 79.5% of this total at 874.3 billion yen. The profit attributable to owners of the parent company was 198.9 billion yen, boosted by a 32.3 billion yen gain from the sale of investment securities.
Looking ahead, Nintendo plans to maintain the momentum of the Nintendo Switch 2 by releasing additional titles, including Kirby Air Riders in November and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond in December, alongside its Pokémon Legends: Z-A edition bundle. The company is keen to leverage its existing software library and extensive installed base to keep engagement high among players, even as it expands its catalog with new releases for the standard Nintendo Switch.
In response to sales trends observed during the first half of the fiscal year, Nintendo has revised its financial forecasts and adjusted its dividend policy, which will take effect from the year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. With a strong sales trajectory and a steady pipeline of software, Nintendo appears well-positioned for continued growth in the gaming market.
