>Nintendo Co.

>Nintendo Co. cut its full-year earnings and revenue outlook, underscoring uncertainty around its aging Switch console and the global gaming environment.

>The Kyoto-based company said it missed its targets for console sales toward the year's end, while foreign currency volatility also played a role. It now expects operating income of 480 billion yen ($3.6 billion) for the year ending March, down from 500 billion yen previously. It's projecting net sales of 1.6 trillion yen, down from 1.65 trillion yen.

>Many investors had expected the company to increase its guidance thanks to twin games Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, which became the fastest-selling Nintendo games in the company's history. The company reported operating profit of 190.2 billion yen and sales of 638.2 billion yen in the December quarter, both weaker than average estimates.

>"The outcome was weak and that's a surprise. The year-end holiday season suggested sales of hardware weren't that strong despite amplified supply, which also weakened sales of software," Toyo Securitiesanalyst Hideki Yasuda said. "It's now clear that the Switch's momentum is downward."

>Nintendo has sat out the rally in tech stocks this year and may remain stuck in the doldrums until it unveils a successor to its Switch game console, which has seen sales declining over the past two years.

>The downgrade came despite strong sales of twin games Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, which were released in November. It made for a successful end to the year, as only weeks earlier, Splatoon 3 had set a new high for fastest domestic sales in Japan. Game sales have helped prop up momentum of the Switch console, demand for which has started to show signs of slowing.

      You could have gamefreak develop for only 4090s in mind, they'd still frick it up if they can't code properly.
      Mind you, we're now in the era of 4k and since consolidating all their efforts into the Switch back in 2018 only now Nintendo has managed to get all their teams to master developing games in HD. And now they will have to make the jump to 4K and hope they don't drown.

    Sword & Shield sold so much money, the Switch already probably maximized the amount of people that were going to buy it for a Pokemon title, before Scarlet and Violet even came out. It seems silly to expect it being that much of a system seller

      Yes, moron. Nintendo would rather Pokemon sell 8 million if it meant stuff like Xenoblade 3 sold 5. That's the exact point being made, that Pokemon sales are obfuscating everything else.

      Because Pokemon, literally all because Pokemon. It not happening is probably a big blow for them. This next batch of Switches is the final one, I'm telling you now. They are simply making enough for the Zelda OLED and that is it. It will be announced during the direct, sales go up on the 21st for the 37th anniversary.

Loving how despite people crying out for staff that it’s hard to get a job without doing some bullshit like working for free? Loving how there’s no real work out there and that working can’t sustain a family any more?
