Capcom says Nintendo Switch 2 sales were better than expected

Capcom CEO, Haruhiro Tsujimoto, has commented on Monster Hunter Wilds sales which were huge during the game’s launch period and trailed off somewhat. When asked about the barrier of entry he unpromptedly spoke about the Nintendo Switch 2 and said that sales of the console were better than the company had anticipated. Perhaps Capcom is having regrets about not getting the latest Monster Hunter game up and running on Nintendo’s latest system.

“The Nintendo Switch 2 was released in June 2025 at a price of 49,980 yen (tax included), and the response was better than we had expected. While prices vary by country, this reaffirmed the high level of cost-consciousness among ordinary consumers.”
