Investors are eagerly waiting for the Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo should play an important role. Since the beginning of the year, the paper has so far been more expensive by 24.03 percent to 11,490 yen (as of February 20, 2025). Nintendo was able to benefit primarily from the recently presented generation of consoles. According to this, the Nintendo Switch 2 will come onto the market in the course of this year, and further details are to be announced on April 2. The current console is already eight years old, which is why Nintendo also expects great demand. As part of the recent profit announcement, Shuntaro Furukawa, President of Nintendo, had stated that the company “takes risks and continues with production so that we can satisfy as much demand as possible”.
Grand Theft Auto 6 from Take-Two
Another sought-after video game share is that of Take-Two Interactive. Since the start of the year, the share certificate on Nasdaq has increased by almost 16.93 percent (as of February 20, 2025).

The software developer Netease could also meet video game investors more often this year. Among other things, Netease developed the popular game Marvel Rivals. The stock has already risen by 13.69 percent at Nasdaq since the beginning of this year (as of February 20, 2025).
Electronic Arts (EA) should also be used on the list of promising video game shares. EA is known for FIFA and Madden NFL games or the Sims and measured in sales the second largest gaming company in the world. Although the EA share has lost more than eleven percent in value this year, the paper should have potential in 2025, experts believe (as of February 20, 2025).
With the releases of GTA 6 and the Nintendo Switch 2, the gaming industry is probably facing another boom. Analysts assume that the increasing demand for new hardware and top -class games will ensure further growth in the industry.
