Overview

• Nintendo confirmed 3.5 million global Switch2 sales in its first four days, marking its fastest-selling console ever.
• Circana reported 1.1 million US units sold in launch week, eclipsing the PlayStation 4’s previous record for first-week hardware sales.
• Widespread sellouts have left retailers in the US and Japan without stock, prompting Nintendo to promise restocked inventories through summer and the holiday season.
• The Switch2 features a 7.9-inch LCD display, upgraded processing for 4K output when docked, and offers between two and six hours of battery life depending on gameplay intensity.
• Priced from $449 to $499, the console supports almost full backwards compatibility and debuts a ‘Game Chat’ voice feature built into the right Joy-Con.
