Switch 2 Sales Top 10.36 Million in Under Four Months as Nintendo Raises Outlook

Stronger-than-expected demand prompted a higher sales forecast.

Overview

  • Nintendo reported 10.36 million Switch 2 consoles sold through September 30, making it the company’s fastest-growing platform and more than doubling the original Switch’s early pace.
  • The company lifted its full-year targets to 19 million Switch 2 hardware units and 48 million software units, with first-half net sales rising about 110% to ¥1.1 trillion and operating profit up 19.5%.
  • Switch 2 software reached roughly 20.6 million units; Mario Kart World sold 9.57 million (about 8.1 million via bundles, ~92% attach rate) and Donkey Kong Bananza hit 3.49 million.
  • Nintendo acknowledged regional shortages, apologized to customers, and said it is expanding production to secure a stable hardware supply.
  • The original Switch remains on sale at 154.01 million lifetime units—about 10,000 shy of the DS—as Nintendo shifts its primary business focus to Switch 2.
