Overview

  • Nintendo sold 3.5 million Switch2 units globally in its first four days, making it its fastest-selling console to date.
  • The console retails for $449 on its own and $499 bundled with the new Mario Kart World game.
  • Upgraded hardware includes a custom Nvidia chip, 12GB of RAM, a 7.9-inch 1080p HDR display and 120Hz handheld refresh support.
  • Most original Switch titles are backwards compatible and benefit from higher resolutions and frame rates on the new system.
  • Walmart+ members get early access to a June 25 restock and Best Buy, GameStop and UK retailers are rolling out fresh inventory this week.
