Nintendo upped its annual forecast for the second quarter in a row and now expects full-year Switch sales of 26.5 million units, up from its previous projection of 24 million, which it has already surpassed. The company also boosted its forecast for operating profit by 24% on the back of a surge in sales brought on by the coronavirus outbreak and hit game Animal Crossing: New Horizons.</p>\n<p>Soon to enter its fifth year on the market, the portable Switch sold 11.6 million units in the holiday period, up 7% on a year earlier. Sales remained strong even after the holidays, President Shuntaro Furukawa said. Nintendo has stoked the gadget’s popularity with customized limited editions, a cheaper Switch Lite and a series of blockbuster titles driving hardware sales. In 2020, Animal Crossing tapped into the need for soothing escapism during pandemic lockdowns.</p>\n<p>“The Switch has turned from being a console to a lifestyle product ‘tailor-made’ for Covid-19 times, with Nintendo surfing on that wave,” said Tokyo-based industry analyst Serkan Toto.</p>\n<p>Nintendo shares outperformed console rivals Microsoft and Sony in 2020 and the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X have faced production and logistics setbacks that have limited their availability. In response to those pricier and more powerful machines, Nintendo is planning an upgraded version of the Switch with the potential addition of 4K output, Bloomberg News has reported, tied to a slate of new game releases later this year.

Nintendo upped its annual forecast for the second quarter in a row and now expects full-year Switch sales of 26.5 million units, up from its previous projection of 24 million, which it has already surpassed. The company also boosted its forecast for operating profit by 24% on the back of a surge in sales brought on by the coronavirus outbreak and hit game Animal Crossing: New Horizons.\nSoon to enter its fifth year on the market, the portable Switch sold 11.6 million units in the holiday period, up 7% on a year earlier. Sales remained strong even after the holidays, President Shuntaro Furukawa said. Nintendo has stoked the gadget’s popularity with customized limited editions, a cheaper Switch Lite and a series of blockbuster titles driving hardware sales. In 2020, Animal Crossing tapped into the need for soothing escapism during pandemic lockdowns.\n“The Switch has turned from being a console to a lifestyle product ‘tailor-made’ for Covid-19 times, with Nintendo surfing on that wave,” said Tokyo-based industry analyst Serkan Toto.\nNintendo shares outperformed console rivals Microsoft and Sony in 2020 and the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X have faced production and logistics setbacks that have limited their availability.

Nintendo upped its annual forecast for the second quarter in a row and now expects full-year Switch sales of 26.5 million units, up from its previous projection of 24 million, which it has already surpassed. The company also boosted its forecast for operating profit by 24% on the back of a surge in sales brought on by the coronavirus outbreak and hit game Animal Crossing: New Horizons.</p>\n<p>Soon to enter its fifth year on the market, the portable Switch sold 11.6 million units in the holiday period, up 7% on a year earlier. Sales remained strong even after the holidays, President Shuntaro Furukawa said. Nintendo has stoked the gadget’s popularity with customized limited editions, a cheaper Switch Lite and a series of blockbuster titles driving hardware sales. In 2020, Animal Crossing tapped into the need for soothing escapism during pandemic lockdowns.</p>\n<p>“The Switch has turned from being a console to a lifestyle product ‘tailor-made’ for Covid-19 times, with Nintendo surfing on that wave,” said Tokyo-based industry analyst Serkan Toto.</p>\n<p>Nintendo shares outperformed console rivals Microsoft and Sony in 2020 and the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X have faced production and logistics setbacks that have limited their availability. In response to those pricier and more powerful machines, Nintendo is planning an upgraded version of the Switch with the potential addition of 4K output, Bloomberg News has reported, tied to a slate of new game releases later this year.

Nintendo upped its annual forecast for the second quarter in a row and now expects full-year Switch sales of 26.5 million units, up from its previous projection of 24 million, which it has already surpassed. The company also boosted its forecast for operating profit by 24% on the back of a surge in sales brought on by the coronavirus outbreak and hit game Animal Crossing: New Horizons.\nSoon to enter its fifth year on the market, the portable Switch sold 11.6 million units in the holiday period, up 7% on a year earlier. Sales remained strong even after the holidays, President Shuntaro Furukawa said. Nintendo has stoked the gadget’s popularity with customized limited editions, a cheaper Switch Lite and a series of blockbuster titles driving hardware sales. In 2020, Animal Crossing tapped into the need for soothing escapism during pandemic lockdowns.\n“The Switch has turned from being a console to a lifestyle product ‘tailor-made’ for Covid-19 times, with Nintendo surfing on that wave,” said Tokyo-based industry analyst Serkan Toto.\nNintendo shares outperformed console rivals Microsoft and Sony in 2020 and the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X have faced production and logistics setbacks that have limited their availability.
