- Nintendo Switch 2 broke the record for the fastest-selling console in Japan, with over 1.5 million units sold in the first month.
- Its launch sales in Japan exceeded those of the Game Boy Advance and the PlayStation 2.
- Moreover, the console sold 3.5 million units globally in its first four days.
After becoming popular in March 2017, the Nintendo Switch is now the third-best-selling system in history, after only the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS. After eight years, it is time to unveil the Nintendo Switch 2, which sold 3.5 million units in its first four days of release. In nearly every country, the system broke sales records.
In the United States, it sold 1.1 million copies in its first week of availability. Given its popularity in Japan, it should come as no surprise that the Nintendo Switch 2 is the best-selling system there, outselling the PlayStation 2 and Game Boy Advance, which previously held the top spots.
According to Famitsu data reported by Yomiuri Shimbun, the Nintendo Switch sold 1,538,260 units in its first month of release. This becomes the fastest-selling system in Japan since Famitsu began tracking sales in 1996.
Nintendo has had enormous success with practically all of its handheld consoles, and we could claim that Sony was successful, but only with the PlayStation Portable; the PS Vita was a complete flop.
It is impossible to say the same for Nintendo, whose greatest failure was the Wii U, a home console with a controller and a screen for remote gameplay. Fortunately, the Switch was a big success.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is currently the best-selling system in Japan, according to publicly available sales data. The Switch 2 outsold the Game Boy Advance (1,367,433) and the PlayStation 2 (1,134,862) in its first month of sales, totalling 1,538,260 copies, or well over 1.5 million.
