"The data shows that the Switch 2 has now exceeded 2 million units sold in the US since launch in early June. That's 75% ahead of the pace of sales for the original Switch back in 2017. Unsurprisingly, the Switch 2 helped propel total US gaming hardware sales in July, which surged by 21%, from $317 million in July 2024 to $384 million in July 2025."
"Globally, the Switch 2 sold more than 6 million units in the seven weeks after launch, exceeding Nintendo's expectations. The company plans to sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles by the end of March 2026. Piscatella has said the Switch 2 was always going to put up strong sales numbers at launch due to pent-up demand and how people who buy technology products at launch are not sensitive to price. The Switch 2 is more expensive than the original Switch."
Switch 2 exceeded 2 million units sold in the US since its early June launch, 75% faster than the original Switch's 2017 pace. Switch 2 sales drove total US gaming hardware revenue up 21% in July 2025, from $317 million to $384 million, and made Switch 2 the best-selling console for July and year-to-date. PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and original Switch spending all declined in July 2025. Globally, Switch 2 sold over 6 million units in seven weeks and Nintendo targets 15 million units by March 2026. Higher launch pricing raises questions about mass-market adoption going into the holidays.
