The worldwide sales of The Switch 2 have surpassed 6 million units.
In just seven weeks since its launch on June 5, 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 has made a significant impact in the gaming industry, selling over 6 million units worldwide. The regional sales breakdown, as reported by Nintendo, shows approximately 1.27 million units in Japan, 2.08 million in the Americas, 1.34 million in Europe, and 1.13 million in other regions.
The Nintendo Switch 2's success is evident, with the console achieving the highest-ever global sales during the first four days after launch, selling 3.5 million units. Demand for the Switch 2 currently exceeds supply in many countries, causing product shortages.
Software sales for the Switch 2 have also been impressive, totaling 8.67 million units in the seven weeks post-launch. The popular launch title, Mario Kart World, has sold an impressive 5.63 million copies.
Nintendo's financial results show strong revenue growth from Switch 2 sales and ongoing engagement with over 100 million annual active Switch users. Despite these strong initial sales, Nintendo projects total annual shipments of 15 million units worldwide for the fiscal year ending March 2026, which is roughly 2.5 times the current sales in the first seven weeks.
However, sales within Nintendo's IP related business, including The Super Mario Bros. Movie, declined by 4.4 percent year-on-year to 16.7 billion yen. This decline is largely due to the movie's dwindling revenue.
In summary, the Nintendo Switch 2 has proven to be a sales powerhouse, breaking records and selling over 6 million units globally in its first seven weeks. Nintendo anticipates selling 15 million units worldwide by March 2026.
The Nintendo Switch 2's launch has sparked a frenzy for gadgets, with technology enthusiasts clamoring for the console, causing product shortages in numerous countries. The recent financial results highlight the device's significant impact, as strong sales propel Nintendo towards their goal of shipping 15 million units by March 2026.
