Exclusive: Nintendo Switch 2 sales – the top 20 pre-orders in the US
According to the The Shortcut's pre-order data, the $499 Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle was seven times more popular than Nintendo's $449 standalone console
It’s $50 more with the game included, but Mario Kart World costs $80 when bought without the console, so Nintendo may have encouraged people to spend a bit more to save money in the long run. This is likely because my followers mentioned that they “settled” for the standalone Switch 2 console in the end, or purposely bought that version and the game separately due to it being easier to purchase.
