The company said US tariff refunds contributed about $300 million to the result, with Nintendo bearing most of those costs rather than passing them to customers. Switch 2 sales fell 34.4% to 3.82 million units, while original Switch sales declined 31.8% to 660,000. Game sales rose for both consoles, led by original Switch titles, which reached 33.81 million units.
