Sales for the Nintendo Switch 2 consoles have reached 5.82 million since its June 5 release, the Japan-based video game giant revealed along with its latest earnings results Friday.
“Looking at hardware sales volume in the first quarter of this fiscal year, Nintendo Switch 2 sales totaled 5.82 million units, and Nintendo Switch sales declined 53.5% year-on-year to 0.98 million units,” Nintendo stated in English-language explanatory materials accompanying the financials. “Nintendo Switch is now in its ninth year since launch, so a year-on-year decline in sales is expected, but it continues to show stable sales.”
Currently, Nintendo is still projecting Switch 2 sales will reach 15 million units by next March.
Nintendo’s Switch 2-specific game sales have hit a modest 8.67 million units, which Nintendo attributes to “the fact that many consumers purchased the hardware bundled with ‘Mario Kart World,’ and that there was a wide variety of titles from other software publishers.”
Nintendo Switch game sales stood at 24.4 million units, a decline of 20.4% from the comparable period in 2024. However, it should be noted that Nintendo says, “because Nintendo Switch 2 can play Nintendo Switch titles, the people purchasing Nintendo Switch software include not only owners of Nintendo Switch, but also people who have bought Nintendo Switch 2.”
For the April 1-June 30 quarter (which Nintendo counts as its first fiscal quarter 2026), Nintendo reported revenue of 572.3 billion Japanese yen (approximately $3.8 billion) which is up 132% year-over-year. Operating profit stood at 56.9 billion yen ($380 million).
