Nintendo Share Price Hits Record High Following Robust Switch 2 Launch
Nintendo's share price has soared to unprecedented heights, driven by the blockbuster launch of the Nintendo Switch 2.
According to the latest reports from Google Finance, Nintendo's stock is currently valued at ¥14,355 per share, twice as much as its highest point during the iconic Wii era.
To put this in perspective, on October 31, 2007, when the Wii's popularity was at its peak, Nintendo's shares closed at ¥7,170.
However, following the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent struggles with the Wii U release in 2012, Nintendo's value saw a significant downturn.
The tides have dramatically turned in 2025.
Nintendo has officially confirmed that more than 6 million units of the Nintendo Switch 2 have been sold since its global debut on June 5, 2025.
With this momentum, Nintendo has maintained its forward-looking guidance, forecasting at least 15 million Nintendo Switch 2 units to be sold before the close of the current financial year.
This strong performance underscores Nintendo's renewed dominance in the gaming hardware market.
Despite a mixed response to recent Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase and Indie World Direct presentations, the Nintendo Switch 2 boasts a promising array of upcoming titles.
Highly anticipated first-party releases such as "Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition," "Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition," and "Kirby Air Riders" are expected to strengthen the platform's appeal.
Third-party developers are also making significant contributions, with releases like "Persona 3 Reload," "Octopath Traveler 0," and "Mina the Hollower" enriching the Nintendo Switch 2's library.
There remain ongoing discussions regarding the price point of the Nintendo Switch 2, especially after recent increases in Nintendo Switch 1 hardware costs in the US and Canada.
Furthermore, concerns linger within the community regarding Game-Key Cards for the new system.
However, these issues have not dampened investor confidence or slowed Nintendo's upward trajectory in the market.
For context, Nintendo's competitors present the following share prices: Capcom stands at ¥3,959, Square Enix at ¥11,055, Sony at ¥3,995, Konami leads with ¥24,560, Bandai Namco posts ¥5,317, and Sega trades at ¥3,306.
These figures highlight Nintendo's considerable achievement in reclaiming and surpassing its historic market value.
With a robust software lineup and sustained sales momentum, the Nintendo Switch 2 era marks a new high point for the company, reaffirming Nintendo's position as a global leader in interactive entertainment.
