They missed their income forecasts seemingly due to an increase in operating expenses, and while this probably isn't the main factor right now, Switch 2 software sales are looking quite sluggish to me, about 37 million units while their forecast has them selling 48 million by March 31st. I don't know how they're going to do it with the lineup they have right now.

The hardware sales are good and that's about it.

Charging $80 for switch 2 games is a huge mistake because it means lower game sales. In the end people are just buying the switch 2 in order to play old switch 1 games.

I know being a Nintendo doomer is 2 more weeks tier but honestly the Switch 2 seems like a misstep, Nintendo has been acting like the Apple of video games missing what made them appealing and successful in the first place. It doesn't help that the quality of the games has been on a steep decline for a few years now while they have gotten more expensive. It seems like they blew their load too, MK World should have been a huge success, DK is an obvious Mario game, Prime 4 should have been the reason to buy a Switch 2 for old school Nintendo fans, meanwhile there's no new Smash on the horizon and even if good luck topping Ultimate in terms of content, next Zelda is almost a decade away, the more niche IPs like Xenoblade or Bayonetta have been murdered. I can't think of a single game that would make me excited. I don't really see where that elusive untapped audience is either considering zoomers give zero fuck about Nintendo and millenialls are growing older and getting squeezed hard by the absolute state of the economy.

He is right. Mario Kart World is considered far worse than 8, Prime 4 was a disappointment released to almost no fanfare, the only new Mario game on the horizon is a re-release of Wonder, Zelda is likely going to be dormant for many years, there’s zero word on a new Smash. What do we have to look forward to from Nintendo? Another mediocre Mario movie?

Those eight years in development must have been an absolute shitshow. I don't know what else can explain the disappointing roster, the very format of the roster, the barren open world, the barren battle mode, and clearly over emotional hesitance on simply letting people play on 3-lap races.

>>732255623
Literally the only thing holding nintendo consoles together is pokemon and pokemon alone, its literaly the pokemon machine and the only fanbase retarded enough to purchase shit and make every game sell 30 million. Meanwhile games they spend 8 years making like donkey kong barely sell just fine, and let's not even mention how much of a flop Metroid is, or how there's literally no more games than that, Mario Kart World is a complete disaster and the others are just fucking DLCs! The next big announcement is just going to be gen 10 and then we'll go for like 4 or 5 more years with nothing but a yearly or biyearly pokemon. Nintendo doesnt even want to make new mario games they just want to make movies because they're more profitable than spending eight years making a game (honestly that's just their fault for being lazy asses, who the fuck takes almost a decade making a bing bing wahoo game?)

They are because they take way less time to make, two to three years in development, a few hundred million, then they get one or two billion back, they dont even need to print games or sell consoles to sell movies, their audience is even bigger than gamers and consumers of their games. So in the time a mario game would take to develop, 8 years, they could release two or three movies and make like five times its profit.

>>732256635
They aren't. Nintendo isn't doing the movies so they aren't seeing a dime outside of merch.

Do you morons actually think these games are in active development the moment the previous game is shipped?

Mario Kart World's problem is it can't compete with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe even at a 85 dollar total after DLC is simply a better game. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe still sold 2 million copies this year almost a decade after it released.

>>732256784

People especially weirdly Nintendo fans always cry about the yearly Pokémon releases and act like Pokémon is this huge shame of the family when Pokémon hard carries Nintendo.

This isn't even true. It's exceeding expectations if anything. Hitting 17.3 million at the end of December means reaching the 19 million forecast, which need I remind you is the revised forecast up from 15 million, is pretty much assured.

But then /v/ is retarded enough to think it won't sell 1.7 million in January-March 31st

>>732249790
Despite the huge Switch 2 sales, software sales are about 2-2.5x, meaning on average, everyone who owns a Switch 2 only owns 2 (maybe 3) games after like 8 months, and one of those games is MKW, which you got for "free".

Even then, sales of most games are doing pretty poorly. MKW did fine because duh, it's part of the bundle, but damn near everything else is selling like shit.
The best example here is how Metroid Prime 2 cost a decade, a lot of people, and a lot of money to make, but sold less than 1m for both Switch 1 and 2 (because those dumbasses scared off Metroid fans. Repeat after me, "only Metroid fans buy Metroid games"!)
Outside of that, hell, Bananza was a "huge hit" but only sold 4m copies, meaning only 1/4-ish of all Switch 2 owners even bought it despite people being desperate for more games.
IIRC Kirby Air Riders only sold about 1m too.

Fuck it, I looked up the top four best sellers on the platform as of today:
Mario Kart World - 14.03 million
Donkey Kong Bananza - 4.25 million
Pokemon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - 3.89 million
Kirby Air Riders - 1.76 million
That's SHIT. Imagine releasing a whole new console and only 10% of your ultra-loyal fanbase even bought your #4 game.
Hell, all four were marketed like crazy, Kirby even got a whole-ass Direct thing to himself and it still shit the bed.

>>732266221
The problem really is as simple as Nintendo having absolutely zero big releases other than Mario Kart ready to go in the first year. Out of the other three titles there, Legends Z-A was a crossgen title that has 75% of its sales on Switch 1, Air Riders outsold the game that it's a sequel to despite currently having a smaller install base than the gamecube and Bananza's sales are fairly average DK sales. Even if Prime 4 turned out good it was never going to be that big of a seller either.

Those games are doing fine for what they are but the problem is that they're B and C-list games. Exclusive Mario, Zelda, or fuck even Splatoon games would have likely been easy 10+ million sellers by now. It's insane how their lineup for the first half of 2026 is just Mario Tennis and a fucking Pokemon themed DQ Builders clone. Like why is the new Tomodachi on Switch 1 this late when it would have likely been an easy 5+ million seller on Switch 2?

Nintendo's software sales are shit because their priorities are completely fucked for whatever reason. Games that would have higher sales on S2 get crippled by being crossgen or they just keep releasing spinoffs of less popular IPs instead of the heavy hitters that drove software sales for them in 2017.

>>732267010
Fuck you man I ain't getting a S2 just for Tomodachi.

>>732266713
cope harder snoy kek

>>732249790
The switch 2 isn't selling any games besides mario kart. Retailers were also forced to cut the price just to move units. Nintendo shipped unprecedented supply and still only met their sales estimate by the skin of their teeth thanks to retailers taking that loss. These are all abysmal signs for the future of the system and the stock market is largely driven by speculation over the future.

>>732250121
wtf is that real?

>>732249990
>dude, I lack foresight
Also, nintendo's stock tanked because they failed to meet expectations and there's heavy doubt over the switch 2's future, it's that simple.

>>732267010
>this late
The issue is that the Switch 2 was pushed out super early before any games were ready, and that's why most of the games (all minus Kirby, I think?) are either cross-gen releases or had a few extra shaders slapped on and turned into a "Switch 2 exclusive" despite probably having gone gold/near-gold with the Switch 1 copy already (namely Bananza and MKW). I imagine we'll be about halfway through 2026 before we start seeing more ACTUAL Switch 2 games coming out, and even then I'm not sure since we're still getting Switch 1 leftovers and there's not a lot announced right now.
Also the original Kirby Air Ride was a colossal, gigafuckhuge flop, so the new game beating it isn't exactly a hurdle.
What's extra funny is that since they rushed themselves out the door instead of making a Switch Pro, they're caught in a tight spot because hardware costs are going up, which will affect profit margins, while Xbox and Sony being lazy means they get to wait it out and avoid the worst of it, releasing when things calm down and they get to sling out newer tech (probably AI-powered, for better or worse.)

>>732267198
>>732267267
I still don't get why people deflect with culture wars in 2026, damn near nobody bought the new Xbox or Playstation, there's no online fights about which console's better, which have better exclusives, nothing. The only people that bought the new consoles were the people who buy systems because "new=gooder" and they don't really interact online.
Nintendo gets a bit of a free pass since their system is unique enough and they focus on exclusives, but with nobody to war with, there's not much of a console war there either.

>you don't like Nintendo, you must like Sony/MS!
Nigga, nobody likes Sony or Microsoft.

>>732257614
Base MK8 is still fundamentally a far better game and that won't change until Nintendo admits they're being retarded about intermissions and open worlds in general and does something about it so they stop actively dragging the experiences down.

It jumped that high because people had way stronger expectations for the Switch 2. It's tanking now because retailers were forced to slash the price of the system just move it off shelves and Nintendo still only barely hit their sales target. And all but a few games are selling poorly, the only real exception being Mario Kart, but most of that is pack-in.
Nintendo is in for a seriously rough time if they don't have a real system seller soon. This year is not going to be kind.

>>732267597
All it really needs is a classic GP mode, being able to select full courses only and them releasing some extra courses.

As long as you actually play a regular track the game is even better than MK8 just for like pure driving physics, there's just too few tracks.

Also you'd think the open world would allow for something like a "track maker" where you can just manually set a path through the world that everyone then has to follow with the ability to pepper in some stuff like obstacles.

You're fucking stupid and don't know what you're talking about. They literally sat on it until they had millions of units stocked so they could meet demand and beat scalpers. It was beyond ready, and besides Prime 4, everything is selling well.
>they're caught in a tight spot because hardware costs are going up, which will affect profit margins
They literally addressed this directly. Their contracts are set and they won't be overly affected by hardware price increases. Like I said, you're fucking stupid and ignorant, don't ever try to pass off your dumbfuck shitposting as legitimate analysis again.

>The issue is that the Switch 2 was pushed out super early before any games were ready
Nintendo sat on it until they had unprecedented stock. They thought the games were ready. They thought MKW and Bonanza would be enough. Problem is, nobody is buying anything else. And why would they, when they can get every other game better and cheaper on PC? That's the reality Nintendo is going to have to contend with and it's only going to get worse for them. They need to dump as many games as they can themselves onto the Switch 2, and actually good games, which they really haven't done. They've lost third parties in an entirely different way. Hoping other games shore up the system is a guaranteed way to fail because that's not what anyone buys Nintendo for. They also can't just rely on the Wii U strategy of rereleasing the same damn game AGAIN hoping it'll shore up the system and get people to buy it. Everyone and their mother already had a Switch. They need good new games that people actually care about and I'd argue they don't have one yet that meets those criteria. They are going to struggle mightily in the coming years. PC is the only one well positioned to weather what's coming and even then PC is at risk too if our kiddie diddling billionaire overlords really try to go through with forcing everyone into the cloud just to use a computer.

Why did they double down on the flimsy fire hazard brick that can't even run games at 30fps steadily?

Glad to see someone mention this. They actually need to make new games and in a timely manner.

Short-sighted comment. Nintendo (and Sony and Microsoft, for that matter) can offer companies stability through their track record. Contracts are written based on long-term metrics and related forecasts. To think that Nintendo and larger gaming companies don't have this as a formidable bargaining chip is unreasonably pessimistic.

>>732271486
All companies are held to analyst expectations, that's how it works. They don't meet expectations, line goes down. This is not bias or unique thing against Nintendo. Nvidia could make a bajillion dollars, but if it doesn't surpass the bajillion and two the analysts were expecting or if Nvidia expresses wariness of the future, line goes down. That's the reality of being public and if Nintendo weren't so greedy and doesn't want to deal with that for the potential gain, then they should go private.

>>732271486
> They kicker is that Nintendo exceeded their expectations
Not really. Nintendo is projecting 48 million in software sales but they’ve only sold 37 and that was with the Mario Kart bundle. Nintendo doesn’t have any big titles left for the quarter so they are probably going to miss it by quite a bit. The attach rate of the console is 2.1 and, again, that’s with Mario Kart, so the average person only bought one other game. This is why their revenue and profits were lower than expected.

Anon, there are only 3 RAM manufacturers. These companies don’t have a lot of choice and ALL of them are raising prices because open AI bought 40% of the supply. They aren’t going to honor old contracts for “stability” when they’d be essentially selling at a loss. Most likely they either break the contract and pay the liquidation clause or just stop supplying Nintendo with parts to sell them for better prices to other customers.
