Nintendo has provided some insights into the Nintendo Switch in its latest financial report. One of the many interesting aspects is that the Kyoto-based company says that 84% of Nintendo Switch 2 owners transferred from the original Nintendo Switch system, which is what the company had hoped would happen. Here’s some more insights from the latest report:
- Currently, 84% of them transitioned from Nintendo Switch.
- This high percentage shows that many consumers who enjoyed Nintendo Switch are smoothly transitioning to Nintendo Switch 2, allowing us to maintain our relationships with them across platform generations.
- Furthermore, if we look at when these transitioning consumers first started playing Nintendo Switch, we see no concentration in any specific period.
- Consumers who purchased Nintendo Switch between its launch in 2017 and the launch of Nintendo Switch 2 have been uniformly migrating to Nintendo Switch 2.

Given current sales that seems unlikely
84% of SWITCH 2 OWNERS. Which means 16% are new users. It didnt say 84% of Switch 1 owners.
As Matt says, I think you’ve misunderstood.
Don’t worry buddy, I have dyslexia as well. I read it the same way the first time 😂
I was going to get a Switch 2 regardless. But, I still have my OG Switch and always will. I try to use my Switch 2 for games meant for it or with upgrades and such. Everything else can be played on the OG Switch.
Sure but they all play worse on Switch 1
