Nintendo is ramping up production of the Switch 2, aiming for 25 million units by March 2026, in anticipation of a record-setting first year. The company expects to sell around 20 million units this fiscal year, ramping up from its previous conservative estimate of 15 million. The Switch 2 has already experienced tremendous success, selling 3.5 million units within its first four days, making it the fastest-selling console in Nintendo’s history. Despite concerns regarding its high price and tariffs affecting its US launch, the console has captured significant market interest, contributing to a substantial rise in Nintendo's shares and forecasted revenue.

What are the sales expectations for the Switch 2 after its launch?

Nintendo expects to sell approximately 20 million Switch 2 consoles in the current fiscal year, which is higher than earlier estimates due to strong demand and initial sales results.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the successor to the wildly popular Nintendo Switch, which has sold over 100 million units since its release in 2017. The original Switch was lauded for its hybrid design, allowing players to enjoy gaming at home or on the go. The Switch 2 aims to build upon this success with improved hardware and features, maintaining Nintendo's legacy in innovative gaming.
