According to posts on Bluesky by Mat Piscatella, executive director and video game industry analyst at Circana, the Switch 2 sold 1.6 million units in June, 2025, its launch month. That surpasses the old record, which stood for almost 12 years, held by the PS4, which sold 1.4 million units in November 2013.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is far from done. After selling out online, retailers are still restocking shelves, and with the holiday season nearing, new bundles, like the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A edition, are set to drive even more sales.

Secondly, the first-generation Switch is a resounding success, having ascended to become Nintendo's second-best selling console of all time at 152.12 million units, behind only the Nintendo DS at 154.02 million units. The Wii, another uber-popular game system, topped out at 101.63 million units.
