Overview

• Nintendo sold 3.5 million Switch2 units in its first four days after the June 5 launch, marking its fastest-selling console debut.
• Retailers across the US, UK and Europe have struggled to keep the device in stock, prompting repeated online drops at Best Buy, Walmart, Argos and others this month.
• The hybrid system runs on a custom Nvidia chip, offers a 7.9-inch 120 Hz handheld display, 4K output when docked and introduces GameChat voice and video features.
• The console starts at $449.99 for the base model or $499.99 with the Mario Kart World bundle, while extra Joy-Cons, Pro Controllers and other accessories are sold separately.
• Building on its record pace, Nintendo forecasts 15 million Switch2 sales by March 2026, a projection that has helped push its share price to fresh highs.
