Switch 2 breaks US launch week records selling over 1.1m units

Nintendo Switch 2 has sold more than 1.1 million units in the United States, breaking launch week records for gaming hardware.

According to Circana data, as shared by the firm’s executive director Mat Piscaltella on social media, 79% of sales included both physical and bundle purchases of Mario Kart World.

Piscatella also noted that the 1.1 million units did not include sales from the My Nintendo Store.

For the week ending June 7, 2025, the top three best-selling Switch 2 games were Mario Kart World, Cyberpunk 2077, and the enhanced edition of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Last week, Famitsu reported sales of the Switch 2 have reached almost one million units in Japan, making it the country’s biggest console launch to date.

Nintendo also revealed the console sold 3.5 million units worldwide in its first four days, which broke internal records.

The publisher previously forecast Switch 2 sales of 15 million by March 2026. A report by Ampere Analysis predicted over 13 million players will buy the console during its launch year.
