Nintendo's Switch 2 Sales Near 6 Million

Nintendo's Switch 2-specific game sales have hit a modest 8.67 million, which Nintendo attributes to 'the fact that many consumers purchased the hardware bundled with 'Mario Kart World,' and that there was a wide variety of titles from other software publishers.'
Nintendo Switch software sales stood at 24.40 million units, a decline of 20.4% from the comparable period in 2024. However, it should be noted that Nintendo says, 'because Nintendo Switch 2 can play Nintendo Switch titles, the people purchasing Nintendo Switch software include not only owners of Nintendo Switch, but also people who have bought Nintendo Switch 2.'
