Nintendo announced that sales of its Nintendo Switch 2 console reached 10.36 million units in five months, solidifying its position as the best-selling console since its launch.

According to the company, the predecessor to this console took almost twice as long to sell 10 million units. With this recently revealed figure, Nintendo also confirms the increase in software sales for the latest console, which have reached 20.62 million units in just five months. “This means that, on average, each buyer of this console has purchased two games.”

Regarding this, it is known that the best-selling game is Mario Kart World, “which was the console’s big launch exclusive, with 9.57 million units sold.” Donkey Kong also sold 3.49 million units between July and September.

With these very positive results, Nintendo is preparing to revise its sales forecasts, with an “estimate of 15 million Nintendo Switch 2 units sold in the current fiscal year to 19 million units during the console’s first year.”

The launch of the successor to the original Nintendo Switch smashed all sales forecasts, placing nearly 5.82 million devices in stores.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been a sensation among video game lovers and fans of the brand, who have had to get up early and wait in line in stores to purchase the console.

Nintendo’s strategy “combined an open world of pre-orders, compelling announcements, and its trio of aces – Mario, Zelda, and Pokémon – and the result was a sales boom that continues to rise.”

As a comparison, analysts mention that, for example, it took a little longer for the PlayStation 5 to reach 4.5 million. For its part, Xbox Series X|S sold 3.1 million consoles, while the original Switch took almost twice as long to sell 2.74 million consoles.

Nintendo now seems unstoppable with the Switch 2, which is backed by compelling games like a new Zelda, sequels, and remasters of classics. It also offers a sharper screen, long-lasting battery life, and more.

June 5 will mark the launch of Nintendo’s new hybrid console, the Switch 2, which is coming to compete in the world of streaming and multiplayer.

In addition to the hardware, the video game company will also release titles like Mario Kart World, which will allow up to 24 players simultaneously.

It has been indicated that the new product not only evolves from a technical standpoint, as the new console is larger, faster, and backwards compatible. At first glance, it reveals similarities with its predecessor, but also changes, such as the “7.9-inch screen, with 1080p resolution, capable of reaching 120 frames per second,” to offer higher definition and greater fluidity in gameplay.

Nintendo has emphasized that the Switch 2 can be used as a portable console or “connected to the TV to play from the couch. It’s also compatible with the entire first-generation game library, a detail many users have been eagerly awaiting.”

Regarding the controllers, they are still called Joy-Con, but in the new version, they attach magnetically to the sides of the screen for ease of use and improved stability. Additionally, they can function as a mouse if placed on a flat surface.

The console includes 256 GB of internal storage and a new button for online play, called the C button, to activate an application called Game Chat that will facilitate communication between friends.

Another new feature is the improved microphone; support for split-screen over the internet. This makes it easier for multiple players to share a game in real time from different locations, and a camera that will allow video streaming of the player while playing.
