Nintendo has announced that the Nintendo Switch 2 has now shifted over 17.37 units worldwide since its release in June 2025. The news was shared by Nintendo during its recent financial results. We also got some updated sales figures for a number of Nintendo Switch games which are; Mario Kart World 14.03M, Donkey Kong Bananza 4.25M, Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition 3.89M and Kirby Air Riders 1.76M.
Thanks to Greatsong1 for sending in the news tip!
It’s more than the Switch over the same period… I think it made 10 million in 6 months…
I thought it sold less than the Switch 1 did in the same time frame?
Absolutely not. Literally all those doom and gloom articles were “well if you compare switch 2’s first November in the US (month 6) to the switch 1’s first November in the US (month 9) than the switch 2 did SLIGHTLY worse in that specific month!” It was an absurd amount of cherry picking for a console that is still smashing records.
Not even! The switch 1 only had 7.6 million at the end of the first 6 months. The Switch 2 has literally doubled that. It took 12 months for the Switch 1 to reach 17.8, a number Switch 2 has essentially reached in half the time. Anyone tried to paint the switch 2 as anything but a resounding success looks like an absolute fool right now.
Yeah because metroid prime 4 did so well
What’s your point? One game underperforming does NOT mean the switch 2 is failing by any stretch of the imagination. You seriously look desperate right now if that’s all you got.
You do know Metroid Prime 4 is technically a Switch 1 game, right?
I wonder if there are people still out there who are determined to say the Switch 2 is a flop
And thats with barely any games
Switch 2 was too safe a bet by Nintendo to have been a flop. It was guaranteed to be profitable selling a fraction of the Switch 1. Now, those people saying it won’t reach the immense success of the Switch are still pretty justified
What if they brought back Miiverse for Switch 2
Miiverse was great. Conflicting feelings about it coming back after such a long break. It’d be a beast maybe
