While this means demand for Nintendo's Switch 2 is incredibly high in Japan, it also means the company doesn't have enough supply to keep up with it. Even so, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has said the company is working to increase production of the handheld/home console hybrid.
Nintendo no doubt wants to capitalize on the immediate success of the Switch 2, which is now the fastest-selling console in history with 3.5 million units sold in its first week. The company also revealed the Switch 2 sold 5.4 million units in its first month. For comparison, the original Switch sold 2.74 million units in its first month. Investors will also note that the Switch has sold 152.12 million units to date, making it the second-best-selling handheld and home console behind Sony's (SONY) PlayStation 2 and Nintendo's DS.

Sony raises its profit forecast after saying it expects less damage from tariffs
TOKYO -- Japanese entertainment and electronics company Sony said Thursday that its profit surged 23% in the last quarter from the year before, as damage from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs was less than it had expected. The Tokyo-based manufacturer reported its April-June profit totaled 259 billion yen, or $1.8 billion, up from 210 billion yen. Quarterly sales edged up 2% to 2.6 trillion yen ($17.7 billion) as demand grew for games and network services, imaging solutions and sensors. The maker of PlayStation game machines, digital cameras, Walkman audio players and Spider-Man movies said those positive factors offset the negative impact from unfavorable exchanges rates. Sony said its network business also was drawing more subscribers to its online services. Sony raised its forecast for its profit in the full fiscal year until March 2026 to 970 billion yen ($6.6 billion), from an earlier forecast of 930 billion yen ($6.3 billion). The revised projection is still lower than what it earned in the previous fiscal year at 1 trillion yen. Sony now estimates the impact of the additional U.S. tariffs on its operating income at 70 billion yen ($476 million), much better than the initial estimate of 100 billion yen ($680 million). One of the successes among Sony's entertainment franchises was the latest 'Demon Slayer' animation movie, which is part of a hit series and is doing well at the box office.

Toyota Motor June-quarter profit beats estimates — but drops 11% as U.S. tariffs bite
Toyota Motor on Thursday reported higher-than-expected operating profit for the June-quarter, even as the world's largest auto company by sales volumes grapples with U.S. tariffs. Here are Toyota's results compared with the mean estimates from LSEG: Operating profit for the quarter, however, dropped 11% year on year. This Toyota's Toyota's third consecutive quarterly decline in operating profit. Net income attributable to the company fell 37% to 841.3 billion yen. Toyota has seen strong global demand. Last week the automaker reported record worldwide sales in the first half of the year. Japanese carmakers have been cutting prices to retain market share in the U.S. after President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs on imported vehicles came into effect in April. In June, the value of Japan car exports to the U.S. fell 25.3% year over year, even though car export volumes to the U.S. rose by 4.6% in the same period, according to data from Japan's trade ministry. Trump, however, announced a new trade deal with Tokyo last month with tariffs expected to fall to 15%, though the timeframe for the change remains unclear. Auto exports to the U.S. are a cornerstone of Japan's economy, making up about 24% of its global auto shipments in 2024, Japan's customs data showed.
