Nintendo Warns Memory Price Rise Could Hit Switch 2
Shuntaro Furukawa, Nintendo president, said in a shareholder Q&A released with the February quarterly report that recent memory price increases have not significantly affected Switch 2 hardware profitability in the third quarter and are not expected to in the fourth. He warned that if price rises persist into the next fiscal year they could pressure profitability; Nintendo stocked higher inventory and has made no pricing decision.
