Nintendo Switch 2 hardware sales fall 34.4 percent year-on-year

Nintendo Switch 2 sold 3.82 million units in Q1 FY27 (ended June 30, 2026), a 34.4% year-on-year decline from 5.82 million units in the same quarter last year. Despite the hardware sales drop, Nintendo's full-year forecast of 16.5 million units remains unchanged. Software sales showed strength: Switch 2 titles grew 9.2% to 9.46 million units, while original Switch software surged 33.6% to 33.81 million units. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream led with 7.94 million units sold. The report comes amid ongoing legal and pricing controversies, including a $300 million tariff refund Nintendo received and a class action lawsuit it is seeking to dismiss, related to price hikes tied to tariffs and an AI-driven memory crisis.
