Overview

• Nintendo sold over 3.5 million Switch 2 consoles globally in its first four days, breaking the company’s launch record.
• The system upgrades include a larger 7.9-inch LCD screen, full-HD handheld display and 4K output at 60 fps when docked.
• Launch title Mario Kart World and careful inventory planning helped satisfy high demand without major stock shortages on release day.
• At a $449.99 retail price, the Switch 2’s higher cost reflects both enhanced components and new U.S. tariffs.
• Nintendo maintains a 15 million-unit sales target for its current fiscal year, with analysts predicting first-year sales could reach 20 million.
