Nintendo sold over 5 million Switch 2 consoles in June

Nintendo sold over 5 million Switch 2 consoles in June

The Nintendo Switch 2 continues to break records. Just short of a month on from the console’s release, it has surpassed 5 million units sold, pushing it ahead of the PS4 as the fastest-selling console to date. 

As spotted by Twisted Voxel, In June, 1.8 million Switch 2 consoles were sold in the US, with a further 1.47 million sold in Japan. Over in Europe, 1.18 million consoles were sold across the continent, with ‘other regions’ combining for just over half a million sales. All of this took place in the span of 25 days, making this a very impressive launch.

Despite pre-orders selling out, Nintendo has been able to keep stores replenished with new stock since launch week. We aren’t at a point where Switch 2’s are ‘readily available’ but you shouldn’t have to wait very long to find one in stock either, at least that has been my observation so far in the UK.

At this current pace, the Switch 2 has been the fastest-selling console in US history, and it is making waves in other countries as well. Nintendo is expected to host a Switch 2-focused Nintendo Direct stream sometime this month to show off new games heading to the console throughout late 2025 and early 2026.

KitGuru Says: Have any of you picked up a Switch 2 already, or are you waiting for Nintendo to release more games? Personally, I would like to see the Xenoblade games updated for the Switch 2 before making the upgrade.
