Nintendo's financial results for the three months from April to June this year saw the final profit reach a record high for this period, as the depreciation of the yen pushed up profits.
According to Nintendo's financial results for the three months from April to June this year, announced on the 3rd,
▽ Sales decreased by 4.7% compared to the same period last year to 307.4 billion yen.
▽ Ultimate profit increased by 28.3% to 118.9 billion yen.
Due to production delays due to semiconductor shortages, the main game machine "Nintendo Switch" sold 3.43 million units in the three months until June this year, compared to the same period last year. Although it decreased by 22.9%, the depreciation of the yen pushed up the profit, so the final profit reached a record high for this period.
Nintendo said, ``Due to delays in procuring semiconductor parts, the production of game consoles this term has not been as planned, but the situation is expected to improve from the end of summer to the fall, and production forecasts for the end of the year are starting to emerge. For the year-end sales season, I would like to choose the most suitable means of transportation and try to ship as many products as possible to various parts of the world.”
