Nintendo shares briefly fall below 7,000 yen on concerns over Switch 2 'second-year slowdown'

Nintendo’s FY2027 outlook disappointed investors, as it projected lower Switch 2 sales and profits than the previous year.

The market reacted sharply, with Nintendo shares briefly falling below 7,000 yen.

The forecast has raised concerns that Switch 2 demand may cool in its second year.

It also suggests weaker-than-expected profit growth for Nintendo’s game hardware business going forward.
