Their latest full fiscal profits were down ~40% from the previous 4 years. And now we have Trump who is trying his best to crater the global economy and raise prices.

Okej,my bad i thought nintendo whas outperforming sony and microsoft there game divisions

Maybe they are, I’m not sure what the profits were for  Sony or Microsoft’s gaming divisions last fiscal year.

What you have to remember is that while Switch’s overall sales are huge and it’s doing very well for its age, Nintendo only shipped 10.80 million units of hardware in the fiscal year ending March 2025 which would make it one of their lowest years ever.

In the last 35 years, Nintendo has only shipped this few units of hardware in FY94/95 & FY16/17.

In the early 90s NES, GB & SNES were all going strong but by FY94/95 NES was dead, GB was showing its age pre-Pokemon/Color & even SNES had peaked.

The other time was in FY16/17 when the DS/Wii era was long gone, 3DS was about 3 years past its peak and Wii U never took off to begin with.
