Nintendo sold 2.67 million Switch 2 units in the quarter ended Sept. 30, down 41% year over year and below the 3.82 million sold in the prior quarter. It raised Switch 2 prices in the U.S., Canada, and Japan as memory supply shortages drove component costs higher, while keeping its prior sales forecast.

Why: The concrete takeaway is that memory shortages are already showing up as consumer-hardware price hikes and weaker unit sales: Nintendo raised prices in three markets and still sold 41% fewer Switch 2 units year over year. If your product or procurement plan depends on fixed hardware costs, treat memory pricing as a live budget risk; for software-only Malaysian teams, there is little direct action here.
