Market (PC & Console)·Updated Mar 21, 2026 by Nintendo
Nintendo experienced a significant financial contraction in the first nine months of FY2025, with net sales falling 31.4% to ¥956.2 billion and operating profit dropping 46.7% to ¥247.5 billion compared to the same period last year.
The core video game segment, which accounts for the vast majority of revenue, saw a 31.7% decline, driven by a 30.6% drop in hardware unit sales.
Despite the overall hardware and software downturn, digital sales increased their share of total software revenue from 48.1% to 51.0%.
The 'Other' revenue category, encompassing merchandise, official stores, and playing cards, was the only major segment to show growth, rising 27.6% year-over-year.
International markets became increasingly critical to Nintendo's revenue mix, with the proportion of sales generated outside Japan rising to 76.5%, up from 71.5% in the previous year.
Foreign exchange impacts were notable, as the average USD/JPY exchange rate weakened from ¥143.22 to ¥152.45, contributing to the shifting financial landscape.
