Nintendo Switch 2 Tops 23M Units Sold as Profits Soar 150% in Q1 2026
Nintendo has published its first-quarter financial results for fiscal year 2026, covering the period from April through June, and the picture is a study in contrasts. The company reported a 9.5% decrease in net sales year-on-year, yet operating profit surged an extraordinary 150.5%, driven by higher software revenue and approximately $300 million in US tariff refunds. Digital sales were a particular bright spot, climbing 90% compared to the same period last year, signaling a meaningful shift in how Nintendo customers are buying games.
