Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Explode: 5.82 Million Units in Under Four Weeks

Nintendo's latest earnings report reveals explosive sales for the Switch 2. In less than four weeks, the company sold 5.82 million units, putting it on track to surpass its target of 15 million units by April 2026—a significantly faster pace than the original Switch. Despite these impressive numbers, Nintendo acknowledges that demand exceeds supply and promises increased production. Switch 2 software sales also soared, reaching 8.67 million units, driven by bundled titles like Mario Kart and strong third-party support. Backwards compatibility boosted sales of original Switch games to 24.4 million. This success propelled Nintendo to a remarkable quarter, more than doubling revenue to $3.8 billion.
