Nintendo has lowered its full-year sales forecast for the Switch console by 12% to 11 million units, citing decreased momentum ahead of the launch of a successor device this year. The company’s president, Shuntaro Furukawa, attributed the decline to not meeting their original plan.
The Switch has sold 9.54 million units in the April-December period, bringing lifetime sales to 150.86 million units. A new console, expected to be released later this year, is set to build on the success of its predecessor, which revitalized Nintendo’s fortunes after the underperformance of the Wii U.
The company has also lowered its operating profit forecast by 22.2% to 280 billion yen ($1.8 billion) for the financial year ending March. In the same period, profit fell 46.7% to 247.6 billion yen.
