Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Set a Record in Four Days
- Nintendo introduced the Switch 2 on June 5, 2025, achieving sales exceeding 3.5 million copies worldwide within the initial four days after its release.
- The strong launch followed pre-sales initially set for April 9, though sales were briefly postponed due to tariffs announced by President Donald Trump.
- Nintendo attributed the strong demand to upgraded hardware components such as a bigger display, a quicker processor, revamped Joy-Con controllers, and the simultaneous release of Mario Kart World with the console.
- The Switch 2 retails at $449.99, and a bundle with Mario Kart World costs $499.99; it achieved the status of Nintendo's fastest-selling console ever.
- This record-setting start suggests strong consumer enthusiasm and effective supply management, while repairability concerns have also been noted by early teardowns.
