Nintendo’s Profits Jump $300 Million After Tariff Refunds And Strong Software Sales

Nintendo’s Profits Jump $300 Million After Tariff Refunds And Strong Software Sales https://ift.tt/qGf1OJR Back in August 2025, Nintendo increased the price of the original Switch console in accordance with ongoing tariffs, but after the US Supreme Court declared these to be unlawful, it didn't hesitate to claim a refund. With the release of its quarterly earnings (April 1 to June 30) for the current financial year, we now have a clear picture of just how much these refunds helped Nintendo, as it recorded a 52% increase in its operating profits year-on-year, totaling $300 million.

This is because of the internal naming convention Epic Games uses when referring to Fortnite maps--they're all named after Greek gods. The first map was Athena, Chapter 2's was Apollo, and the current map is nicknamed Artemis. Asteria, like these other names, is also the name of a Greek god--it even similarly starts with 'A' which seems to be important to Epic, so it's fairly certain by now that Artemis is a new Fortnite map, even if it doesn't explain why players think it's launching this year.
