Furukawa replied that while Nintendo doesn't discuss specific components in detail, it was having discussions with its suppliers to ensure a stable supply in the long term.
As a result of this, Furukawa says the recent surge in memory prices didn't significantly impact on its hardware profitability during the third quarter of its financial year (October to December 2025), and he doesn't expect a significant impact in the fourth quarter either. He noted, however, that should the surge in prices continue into the next financial year and beyond, this could eventually have an impact on profitability, and that should the situation deteriorate significantly, the company will assess the market and take appropriate measures.
