Previously, Nintendo Switch 2 set a new launch month sales record in the U.S. with 1.6 million units sold in June 2025, surpassing the record set by PlayStation 4’s launch in November 2013 at 1.1 million. Mario Kart World was the third best-selling game in the US during Switch 2’s launch month, but its worth noting that the sales tracked by Circana do not include digital copies from the Nintendo eShop or those bundled with the Nintendo Switch 2 console.
The best-selling third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games during the console’s launch month were Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, and Street Fighter 6. Moreover, Nintendo Switch 2 was the best-selling console of June 2025 in both units and dollars. Shortly after launch, Nintendo confirmed that Nintendo Switch 2 sold 3.5 million units globally in the first four days on sale. This makes Switch 2 the fastest-selling Nintendo console ever, and perhaps the biggest console launch of all time.
