Nintendo sees sales dip as Switch 2 debut looms


Nintendo is caught between its eight-year-old Switch console and the next-gen Switch 2 — a purgatory that usually hits sales.

The company hasn't been able to keep sales momentum with new games either, as revenue in that area is down 24.4 percent compared to the same three-month period last year. The company is only releasing a couple of new titles early in 2025 ( Donkey Kong Country Returns, Xenoblade Chronicles X), before its reveal of the Switch 2 on April 2. So far, Nintendo investors haven't been too worried about falling sales due to high expectations for the Switch 2.
