Nintendo and Sony both flagged the impact from surging memory prices on their games businesses on Friday, as the artificial intelligence boom constrains chip supply and deepens disruptions across the tech sector.

In March, Sony announced it was hiking the prices of its PlayStation 5 family of consoles by between $100-$150. The PlayStation 5's cheapest model—the Digital Edition with no disc drive— now costs $599.99, while the version with the disc drive costs $649.99.

Nintendo hikes Switch 2 prices and expects console sales to decline as memory crunch bites

Star Fox is officially returning. Nintendo confirmed a full remake of Star Fox 64 for Nintendo Switch 2, with a release date set for June 25.

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- #nintendoswitch--All systems go! Moviegoers around the world have seen Fox McCloud take to the skies in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie – soon players can blast off with Fox and his allies on the Nintendo Switch 2 system. In today's Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo announced that Star Fox, an action-packed adventure based on Star Fox 64 for Nintendo 64, will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on June 25. Experience new gameplay modes (and rediscover returning ones) as you embark.

Nintendo Co., Ltd. is a buy, as the market underestimates the company's long-term durability and legendary IP. NTDOY's fortress balance sheet, 33% ROIC, and first-party IP-driven ecosystem give it competitive advantages within its sector and support ongoing shareholder returns. Q3 FY 2026 saw Switch 2 record-breaking sales, strong game software performance, and successful movie expansion that highlight Nintendo's resilient and growing franchise demand.

Consumer goods importers are going to benefit from these refunds.

The London Company Income Equity portfolio returned 4.4% (4.2% net) during the quarter vs. a 4.2% decrease in the Russell 1000 Index. GLW continues to outperform, driven by strong demand in Optical Communications, particularly for GenAI-related products. NTDOY was pressured this quarter by rising memory chip prices, a key input of its hardware, and concerns around increased competition in gaming from AI.

The key isn't a high starting yield, but room for sustainable dividend growth.

The surge in memory prices is squeezing margins at Nintendo. With softening demand leading to a decision to pare back console production, Nintendo lacks pricing elasticity when it needs it the most.

The proposed class action lawsuit says the company stands to benefit twice from the now-voided import duties.

Nintendo (NTDOY) is rated a buy, supported by upcoming software and IP-driven profit growth starting in the next fiscal year. Lower margin sales have been frontloaded in our view. Pokopia's strong sales and the Mario 2 movie are set to deliver significant margin and profit boosts over the next fiscal year, with the former also helping in Q4. Switch 2 hardware margins are pressured by region-locked Japanese models, but due to the low price of these models these sales have likely been aggressively frontloaded.

Nintendo Co., Ltd. is rated a buy after a sharp 40% drop, with valuation now considered cheap and early bullish divergence signals emerging. Switch 2 sales surged 67.66% QoQ, driving net sales up 99.3% YoY to ¥1.906T for the first three quarters of FY 2026, despite inflation and tariffs. Robust liquidity, strong customer loyalty, and successful franchises like Pokémon and Super Mario underpin NTDOY's resilience and growth prospects.

Here's a look at how each company benefits and which one could gain the most.

Deflating memory chip prices could be a boon to Nintendo. The company is on the cusp of an earnings supercycle with the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2.

Wednesday's premiere of "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" comes at a time when Nintendo can use a boost. Despite revenue roughly doubling for Nintendo in fiscal 2026, reports of Switch 2 production costs suggest a weak near-term outlook.
