“Nintendo Switch 2 is valued at a relatively high compared to Nintendo Switch, so we realize that there are appropriate challenges for early adoption,” said Furukawa. “We take steps such as packaging software with equipment to speed up adoption in the first financial year, aimed at going to the same start that we made with Nintendo Switch.”
Furukawa warned that investors should not be carried away by the extreme demand for pre -sale Switch 2. Due to the high price of the system, he said that “even if there is a pace around the premiere, we know that it would not be easy to keep the rush in the long term through the holiday season and beyond.”
Furukawa said that his production capacity for Switch 2 was a “factor” in the settings of his forecast, as well as the unstable economic situation. “The tariff situation in the USA or the possibility of recession did not affect
Our forecast of our sales volume – he said.
Then he made a full nintendo statement, but in response to the American tariffs, saying that it was assumed that the current tariff rates persist for the rest of the budget year, which would “negatively the negative impact of several tens of billions of yen at the level of profit.”
“Our basic policy is that for any country or region, if tariffs are imposed, we recognize them as part of the costs and include them in the price,” he said. “However, this year is our first fresh premiere of the video game system for eight years, so taking into account our unique situation, our priority is to maintain the pace of our platforms, which is extremely significant for our dedicated activities of the video platform, and the quick extension of the base of the installation of our fresh equipment. As a consequence, if the assumptions about the tariffs change, we will consider what price adaptations would be appropriate. various factors. “
To translate it with Ceo-Speak: Nintendo usually hit the cost of the tariffs at the price of his equipment, but he did not do it in this case because he wants to sell as much 2S switch as possible. This does not exclude the change in prices as the situation evolutions (but it probably will not be).
It is worth reading entire questions and answers, only for the strange performance of the Business Leader Patiently explaining and re -exploration for unsaturated investors, why he thinks his fresh product is Just It will be one of the fastest -selling consoles of all time, which is apparently a terrible disappointment for them. Capitalism!
