Nintendo Switch 2 Has Sold 5 Million Units In Its First Month Overtaking The PS4 As The Fastest Selling Console Ever


Nintendo Switch 2 achieves 5 million units sold in June 2025, breaking sales records and surpassing its predecessor’s launch by a wide margin.

This figure significantly surpasses the original Nintendo Switch’s first-month performance, which recorded around 2.74 million units sold at launch in March 2017. The Switch 2’s rapid adoption demonstrates not only the continued strength of Nintendo’s hybrid console strategy but also the robust demand for new hardware in the current gaming market. Earlier reports had already highlighted the scale of Nintendo’s achievement, with the Switch 2 selling 3.5 million units worldwide within its first four days on the market, setting a new benchmark for hardware launches in the company’s history.
