Nintendo has modified its hardware sales forecast from 12.5 million to 11 million units for the financial year ending March 2025.

Nintendo released its latest financial results, and it makes for some somber reading but teases the potential to smash an all-time sales record for the Nintendo Switch.

Scalpers are going to try to buy up as many Switch 2 consoles as possible, but Nintendo has a plan to stop them.

Japanese video game giant Nintendo on Tuesday cut its annual net profit forecast after hardware and software sales for its Switch console fell in the first three quarters.
