On Thursday, Nintendo said he expects him to sell 15 million switches 2 units and that operating profit will increase by 13 % to the end of March to JPY 320 billion ($ 2.22 billion or about Rs 18,955 crore).
Nintendo Switch 2 is preparing for the June 5 launch, which will test US President Donald Trump’s ability to manage supply chains to reduce the barrier from the trade war.
The gaming device is the successor of the switch, which has sold more than 150 million units since its early 2017 and has changed Nintendo’s fortunes after the Wii U flopped.
“Nintendo clearly wants to play it safely and he chose that cautious but probably predicted a reasonable prediction.”
The company is known for its conservative forecast. Toto sees sales of switch 2 near 20 million units.
Nintendo stopped the start of the US pre -order as it considered the effects of the rise in US prices. Later, he said that he would retain pricing 9 449.99 (about Rs 42 42.692).
“If additional rates are implemented in the future and we adjust the price, we can see a decrease in demand,” Nintendo President Shantaro Frokawa told an income briefing.
He said that Nintendo has seen the profit in tens of billions of JPY at rates and will adjust the forecast if the situation changes.
Although Nintendo has opened the theme parks and the features of stores and its characters in the film, it depends on the console business.
For the end of March, the operating profit dropped by 46.6 % to JPY 282.5 billion (about 16,689 crores).
Nintendo has witnessed the sale of 45 million units of software in the current financial year. The Hybrid Home Portable Device will launch with titles, including “Mario Cart World”.
During the same period, the company expects 4.5 million units and 105 million software units of an elderly switch to the system.
The more powerful gaming device is the signs of strong demand, which offers a bigger screen and better graphics than its predecessor.
Xboxing company Microsoft and PlayStation maker Sony have increased both console prices in recent weeks.
