TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan's Nintendo Co Ltd on Thursday forecast annual Switch console sales to fall 11.5%, in what would be the first decline for the five-year-old device after riding a pandemic-induced boom in home gaming.
The Kyoto-based firm expects to sell 25.5 million units in the business year that started April 1. That would compare with 28.8 million a year earlier after booking an 82% rise in operating profit at 640.6 billion yen ($5.9 billion).
