"Nintendo has boosted its Switch 2 sales forecast for the current fiscal year, meaning it could top first year sales of the original Switch. The gaming giant expects to sell 19 million Switch 2s by March 31, 2026, up 26.7 percent from its original forecast of 15 million units. That follows a previous report that Nintendo had asked suppliers to build 25 million Switch 2s by the end of March next year."
"In its second quarter ending September 30th, Nintendo sold 4.54 million Switch 2s and has moved 10.36 million units since launch. However, the company's Q3 sales through the holiday season can often double Q2 sales, as they did multiple times with the Switch. The original Switch sold 17.79 million units in its first 13 months, so the Switch 2 could exceed that over a shorter time frame."
"Nintendo is optimistic about software too, projecting sales of 48 million units for Switch 2 by March 31, up 3 million from its earlier forecast. It also expects to sell 125 million Switch games (which can also be played on the Switch 2) for this fiscal year, rather than 105 million as it previously predicted. This quarter, the company moved 11.95 million Switch 2 games, with Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bonanza among the best sellers."
Nintendo raised its Switch 2 sales forecast to 19 million units for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, up 26.7% from a prior 15 million forecast and following reports of a 25 million unit production request. The company sold 4.54 million Switch 2s in Q2 and has moved 10.36 million units since launch. Historical Q3 holiday cycles can significantly boost sales, and the original Switch sold 17.79 million units in its first 13 months. Nintendo also raised software forecasts to 48 million Switch 2 units and 125 million Switch game sales for the fiscal year. Q2 revenue and profit exceeded expectations.
