Skrevet af JOEP - 04-08-2022 19:56
Nintendo har i går udsendt en kvartalsrapport, hvori de fremlægger sine finansielle resultater for perioden april til juni, der udgør deres første kvartal i finansåret 2022. I løbet af kvartalet har Switch solgt 3.43 mio. enheder, hvilket er noget under sidste års 4.45 - faldet forklarer Nintendo med silikone-chip-krisen, der påvirker al elektronik for tiden. De forventer dog, at manglen snart er overstået, så de beholder deres forventning om, at der i året sælges 21 mio. enheder.
Periodens 3.43 mio. enheder fordeler sig over 1.32 mio. alm. Switch, 1.52 mio. Switch OLED og 0.59 mio. Switch Lite.
Totalt set har Switch solgt 111,03 mio. enheder i sin levetid.
På software-siden er der solgt 863.59 mio. stk siden 2017. Modsat tidligere har Nintendo nu valgt at forkorte listen over spil, der har solgt over 1 mio. eksemplarer, således at vi nu blot ser toppen:
– Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 46.82 million units
– Animal Crossing: New Horizons – 39.38 million units
– Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – 28.82 million units
– Zelda: Breath of the Wild – 27.14 million units
– Pokemon Sword / Shield – 24.50 million units
– Super Mario Odyssey – 23.93 million units
– Super Mario Party – 18.06 million units
– Pokemon Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl – 14.79 million units
– Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee – 14.66 million units
– Ring Fit Adventure – 14.54 million units
– Nintendo Switch Sports – 4.84 million units
– Kirby and the Forgotten Land – 4.53 million units
– Mario Strikers: Battle League – 1.91 million units
Bemærk her, at Mario Strikers: Battle League (Football), Nintendo Switch Sports og Kirby and the Forgotten Lands er relativt nye titler, og bemærk også, at Pokémon Legends: Arceus ikke figurerer på listen, til trods for spillets umiddelbare succes.

Regarding the Nintendo Switch business during the first quarter (April through June 2022) of this fiscal year, Nintendo Switch Sports (released in April) achieved sales of 4.84 million units, and Mario Strikers: Battle League (released in June) got off to a good start selling 1.91 million units. In addition, stable sales continued for titles released in previous fiscal years. For example, Kirby and the Forgotten Land performed well with sales of 1.88 million units (for cumulative sales of 4.53 million units), and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold 1.48 million units (for cumulative sales of 46.82 million units). A total of 4 titles sold over one million units during this period. As a result of such factors, hardware sales for the quarter totaled 3.43 million units and software sales totaled 41.41 million units. However, due to the effects of supply shortages in semiconductors and other components among other
factors, hardware sales were down 22.9% year-on-year, and software sales were down 8.6% year-on-year.
Turning to our digital business for the dedicated video game platform, sales were strong for Nintendo Switch downloadable versions of packaged software, and Nintendo Switch Online sales also increased. In addition, sales of add-on content rose not only for Nintendo titles, but also for titles from other software publishers, helping push digital sales to 88.0 billion yen, up 16.0% year-on-year.
Royalty income was stable, however, income from smart-device content declined, resulting in total sales of 10.9 billion yen in our mobile and IP related income, down 16.8% year-on-year.
As a result, net sales totaled 307.4 billion yen (with overseas sales of 245.5 billion yen accounting for 79.9% of that total), and operating profit came to a total of 101.6 billion yen. With the depreciation of the yen in foreign exchange markets, we recorded foreign exchange gains of 51.7 billion yen, resulting in ordinary profits of 166.7 billion yen and profit attributable to owners of the parent totaling 118.9 billion yen.
There are no changes to the original financial forecast for the current fiscal year, published May 10, 2022.
Regarding Nintendo Switch, we will continue to convey the appeal of all three hardware models in order to maintain sales momentum and expand the install base. As for software, we released Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in July, and are scheduled to release Splatoon 3 in September, Bayonetta 3 in October, and Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet in November. Other software publishers also plan to release a wide variety of compelling titles, and we will work to invigorate the platform through the combination of existing popular titles and a continuous stream of new titles.
The consolidated financial forecast is made under the assumption that we are able to manufacture the products in accordance with our sales plan. However, manufacturing and logistics may be impacted by factors such as obstacles in the procurement of parts including semiconductors, and risks associated with COVID-19.
The Nintendo group will take the necessary measures and continue business operations to provide an environment in which consumers can continue to enjoy Nintendo products and services.
Et ret interessant billede viser, at salget af software er faldet relativt kraftigt i USA i perioden:
Det skal nok tilskrives de økonomiske omstændigheder, men så er det blot også pudsigt, at vi ikke ser samme tendens i EU og Japan.

Ifølge Nikkei har Nintendo desuden meddelt, at der ikke kommer ny hardware i dette finansår (dvs. inden marts 2023). De vil jo nok ikke melde andet ud, men man kan tolke om det, hvad man vil.Kilde.
