The full announcement:
Nintendo Co., Ltd. (HQ: Kyoto, Minami-ku, Japan; Representative Director and President: Shuntaro Furukawa, “Nintendo” hereafter) announced that its new game system, Nintendo Switch 2, sold over 3.5 million units worldwide in the four days following its release on June 5, 2025*. This is the highest global sales level for any Nintendo hardware within the first four days.
Nintendo Switch 2 is the successor to Nintendo Switch and features a larger, more responsive screen and new magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers, with more powerful processing and graphics performance that opens the door to new ways to play. With the system’s new GameChat feature, players can voice or video chat—or share their game screen—with friends online while playing a game with a simple press of the new C Button on the Joy-Con 2 controller**.
The lineup includes Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Set, which comes with a Nintendo Switch 2 Japanese-Language System (Japan Only) and a digital version of Mario Kart World, a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive game released on the same day as the system. This is an affordably priced offer for those considering the purchase of both the system and the game.
