UK games journalist Christopher Dring has confirmed this evening that the Nintendo Switch 2 has now outsold the Wii U, the SEGA Dreamcast and the PlayStation Vita in the biggest games market in Europe, the United Kingdom. This is an impressive achievement given the platform was only released in June.
Thanks to Greatsong1 for sending in the news tip!

Wii U and Dreamcast, two consoles I owned. The Dreamcast was honestly a great console which did not deserve its fate
Dreamcast was ahead of its time. The only slight downside was lack of more space on the discs, and it could’ve done with a second thumbstick.
It did better in the hardware department for its time vs Wii U and Wii in terms of power though without question.
Yes it did…Dreamcast? Dreamtrash…
Here comes the doom and gloom people claiming this console is a flop just like they said with SW1.
Yeah, “b-b-b-but it’s consoles shipped, not sold to consumers! Shut up it doesn’t count!”
They always move the goal post when confronted with the truth that contradicts their narrative.
It is units shipped but Switch 2 is doing great last I heard it was beating the PS5 launch in numbers and no surprise because it has games.
Yeah, but it’s always been units shipped, not sold to consumers. That’s the metric everyone uses.
I’m just saying that grifters like Nintendeen can’t admit that they were wrong about the Switch 2 flopping, so they have to move the goalpost or do all sorts of mental gymnastics to make sense of this new information that contradicts the narrative they built their current YouTube audience off of.
So much for the Nintendo Switch 2 being a “dead system”.
Who is saying Switch 2 is a dead system? It’s doing great and unlike PS5 there are games to play.
Many grifters painted the narrative that it would flop after the initial launch. Go look up channels like Nintendeen and you’ll see.
Never heard of this channel before.
I mean you’re practically advertising his channel for free.
Just viewed his channel. Holy shit how does someone hate the Switch 2 THIS badly?
Just goes to prove that the Nintendo Switch 2 is not dead…
It really blows my mind just how little the Wii U sold. LOVED the Wii U. Had so much fun with it. Some of Nintendo’s best games ever came from that console and it shows since they keep bringing them back on their future consoles.
I think that Nintendo Switch 2, not the console itself have problems.
GameKeyCards, & GameCards data storages size.
D-Pad on the Left-Joy-Con2, maybe can be made later, by Nintendo?
The verry high prices of, NintendoSwitch2 consoles/games.
Lack of Cloud games.
In 2025, MicroSDExpressCard is hard to find : in store and on internet, and difficult to find in 1TB-2TB data size.
It hurts in some regards…
