The Nintendo Switch 2 has surpassed 3.5 million units sold in its first four days, Nintendo has revealed. That makes it the fastest-selling Nintendo console ever, and, according to trusted industry analyst Daniel Ahmad, the “fastest-selling home video game console of all time.”
The Switch 2 launched last week, on Thursday, June 5, to lines of customers outside retailer stores, Walmart delivery bags featuring Pringles and Coca-Cola, and Game Informer editors excited about how much better the eShop runs. Though many figured the Switch 2 would sell extremely well, becoming the fastest-selling Nintendo console is still quite a feat.
“This [3.5 million units sold in the first four days] is the highest global sales level for any Nintendo hardware within the first four days,” a press release reads. “Nintendo will continue its efforts to deliver unique entertainment that puts smiles on the faces of everyone Nintendo touches.”
