Overview

• The console sold 3.5 million units worldwide in its first four days, making it Nintendo’s fastest-selling system launch.
• DFC Intelligence has raised its 2025 sales forecast from 15 million to 16 million units, with upside potential if manufacturing constraints ease.
• First-party titles accounted for roughly 62 percent of US physical game sales and up to 86 percent in the UK when including bundled releases.
• The first post-launch firmware update, version 20.1.5, delivers general stability enhancements and improves backward compatibility for older Switch titles.
• Third-party game sales trailed initial estimates, though CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 emerged as a standout non-Nintendo title.
