Business · Posted on


Key Highlights

  1. Record-Breaking Launch:
    • Sold 3.5 million units in 4 days (like selling 1 console every 2 seconds nonstop!).
    • Goal: Reach 15 million sold by March 2026.
  2. Why It’s So Popular:
    • New Games Galore: Over 60 big-name games are coming soon, including Metroid Prime 4 and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
    • Pricier (But Popular) Games: The new Mario Kart World costs $79.99—higher than past Mario Kart games—but fans are still buying.
  3. Stock Performance:
    • Nintendo’s shares have hovered around ¥12,000 (about $78) recently, but analysts say growth might slow for now.

Why This Matters

  • For Gamers: More games, better graphics, and fresh features.
  • For Investors: Nintendo’s profits could rise thanks to pricier games and accessories (like controllers).

Fun Comparisons

  • Switch 2 vs. PlayStation: Sold faster than PlayStation 4 and 5 in their early days.
  • Game Prices: Games are creeping toward $100 as development costs rise, but Nintendo’s Mario Kart World is testing the waters at $80.

What’s Next?

  • Coming Soon: Big launches like Pokémon Legends: Zodiac and Super Mario Party Fusion.
  • Analysts Say: Nintendo’s stock is still a “Buy” (financial experts think it’s a good investment).

Quick Takeaways

✅ Fastest-selling Nintendo device ever.
