"In Nintendo's latest earnings briefing, the company revealed that 84% of Switch 2 owners were Switch 1 players who made the jump to the new hardware. The figure is based on Nintendo's data as of September 30. "This high percentage shows that many consumers who enjoyed Nintendo Switch are smoothly transitioning to Nintendo Switch 2, allowing us to maintain our relationships with them across platform generations," read Nintendo's report."
"If you're interested in more detailed breakdowns, Nintendo also included a fun bar graph in the report, showing the proportions of Switch 1 owners who transitioned to Switch 2 by the time they received the older console. While Nintendo didn't include any exact percentage numbers in the year-to-year breakdown, the company said that there is "no concentration in any specific period" and that Switch 1 purchasers have been "uniformly migrating to Nintendo Switch 2. Even so, it's evident that those who recently got a Switch 1 aren't as eager to upgrade compared to early Switch 1 adopters.""
The Switch 2 is Nintendo's fastest-selling hardware to date, with Nintendo reporting that 84% of Switch 2 owners were previous Switch 1 players as of September 30. Nintendo views this high percentage as evidence of smooth transition and maintained relationships across platform generations. A bar graph shows proportions of Switch 1 owners who migrated based on when they received the older console, and Nintendo states migration is uniform across periods though more recent Switch 1 buyers upgrade less often. Nintendo is shifting primary development focus to Switch 2, plans steady movie releases, and most Switch 1 games are playable and being played on Switch 2.
