Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Surge Amid Ongoing Supply Challenges

Nintendo recently released its quarterly financial report, revealing an impressive milestone for the Nintendo Switch 2. In just seven weeks since its launch, the console surpassed six million units in sell-through sales. By the end of June, 5.82 million units had been sold, contributing to overall software sales of 8.67 million units, with Mario Kart World leading the charts at 5.63 million copies—effectively translating to nearly one game per console sold.

Supply Challenges Highlighted

Nintendo acknowledged the current supply issues affecting the availability of the Switch 2:

Currently, demand for Nintendo Switch 2 is exceeding supply in many countries, and we regret the inconvenience this is causing our consumers. We will continue to strengthen our production and supply systems to deliver as much Nintendo Switch 2 hardware as possible.

Sales Projections Remain Steady

Despite the strong sales figures, Nintendo’s outlook for the fiscal year 2026 has not changed. The company continues to project sales of 15 million Switch 2 units and 45 million software units.

Financial Performance Overview

The financial results for the first quarter showcased significant growth compared to the previous year, with net sales soaring from 246.6 billion yen (approximately $1.6 billion) to 572.3 billion yen ($3.8 billion), reflecting a remarkable increase of 132.1%.However, the company’s intellectual property (IP) segment faced a slight decline, with revenues dropping from 17.5 billion yen to 16.7 billion yen, a 4.4% decrease, largely attributed to lower earnings from The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Conclusion

Nintendo’s robust sales performance in the early stages of the Switch 2’s lifecycle demonstrates a strong consumer demand, even amid supply constraints. As the company continues to adapt its production strategies, the gaming community is keenly watching the forthcoming developments and the future of Nintendo’s flagship console.
