Overview

• Nintendo said it sold over 3.5 million Switch2 units worldwide in its first four days, making it the fastest-selling console in its history and one of the swiftest home-console launches on record.
• The console features a larger 1080p LCD screen, a faster processor capable of 4K output when docked, magnetic Joy-Con2 controllers with mouse functionality and a new GameChat2 voice and video chat feature.
• Retailers in the United States and Europe have posted out-of-stock notices as production scrambles to meet unprecedented demand.
• Priced at $449.99, Switch2 reflects higher production costs and U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, which also delayed its initial preorder period.
• Nintendo aims to sell 15 million units by March 2026 while supporting the launch with Mario Kart World and planning titles such as Donkey Kong Bananza for later this year.
