TOKYO -- Nintendo stock dropped sharply on Friday after the company's announcement late the night before that it would release its next-generation Switch 2 console in 2025 contained little to surprise markets.
Soon after trading started, the video game giant's share price plunged as much as 7.2% from the previous day's close to 8,898 yen. That came after it had touched highs in the run-up to the announcement, which included a short video showing the long-awaited console but did not reveal details such as its price or an exact release date.
