Consistent software sales helped offset a reduction in hardware revenues primarily due to weaker yen rates. Nintendo notes that hardware sell-through, that is consoles and hardware sold to consumers, was relatively even year-over-year. Sell-in of Switch hardware, that is shipments made to retailers, was down by half a million systems to 3.25 million in Q2'23 as compared with 3.83 million from Q2'22.
