Nintendo Switch 2 Blows Past Records to Sell 3.5 Million Consoles in Just 4 Days

Nintendo’s new handheld console has reached the highest global sales of any Nintendo device in the same timeframe.

We knew it was highly anticipated, but Nintendo on Wednesday confirmed that its new Switch 2 handheld game console has sold more than 3.5 million units worldwide within the first four days of release. This makes it the fastest-selling Nintendo device ever, flying past other releases like the original Switch, which by comparison sold 2.74 million units in its first month.

The Nintendo Switch 2 launched at a price of $450 for the standard America version of the console, which has yet to be affected by the latest tariffs.

It features a larger screen, revamped Joy-Con controllers, more advanced processors and backwards compatibility with original Switch games. It currently features updated versions of classics like Breath of the Wild, as well as the exclusive new game Mario Kart World.

Despite massive early-day sales, the Switch 2 still has a long ways to go to catch up to the original Switch, which has sold over 150 million units since its 2017 release date.

Nintendo America did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
