"Since its launch, the Switch 2 has mostly focused on small updates like this to keep the console running smoothly for users. That's not to say there haven't been any substantial updates so far, as the November firmware upgrade added better visual clarity on the home menu to indicate whether a game is owned physically or digitally. The update also added GameChat improvements, helping to fine-tune the Switch 2."
"The Switch 2 got off to a strong start last year after its June launch, smashing through several sales records along the way. Sales in the US were reportedly down by around 35% from November to December when compared to Switch 1 sales during the same period in its launch year of 2017, and overall, November 2025 was the worst month for hardware sales in the US since 1995."
"Nintendo still predicts to sell 19 million Switch 2 units by the end of March, and its early 2026 offerings include a substantial upgrade for Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Mario Tennis Fever."
