Nintendo’s Switch 2 has taken the gaming world by storm since its launch on June 5, 2025. With the remarkable legacy of its predecessor, which sold over 154 million units, the new console has surpassed initial sales expectations, moving 3.5 million units in just four days and achieving a staggering 10.36 million worldwide within five months.

Originally forecasted to sell 15 million units in its first year, Nintendo has now upgraded its projection to an impressive 19 million, anticipating significant gains during the holiday season. Key titles like “Mario Kart World,” a successor to the best-selling “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe,” have driven software sales, while backward compatibility keeps players engaged with beloved titles.

As exciting prospects like “Kirby Air Riders” and “Metroid Prime 4: Beyond” approach their release dates, Nintendo’s momentum appears unstoppable. The question remains: can they maintain this pace and achieve their ambitious sales target? The gaming community is eagerly watching.
