|June 12, 2025
Nintendo sold 3.5 million-plus units of the Switch 2 in just four days, a record-breaking start for the company’s first new console in eight years.

TOKYO —
The numbers, released by the company on June 11, bode well for its target to sell 15 million units by March 2026. They also reinforce analysts’ projections that Nintendo may be able to sell far more if it can pump up supply.
Gamers from Tokyo to San Francisco lined up for hours last week to get their hands on one of the most highly anticipated gadgets of 2025. The long-awaited Switch 2 succeeds a global hit in the original Switch, which pioneered a hybrid design that allows play both at home on a TV and on the move.
The release of the new Switch was regarded as a watershed moment for the industry, steering business decisions by partners and competitors for years to come.
