Switch 2 sales: 23.68 million consoles sold by June 30, 2026, well ahead of the original Switch

The Switch 2 is selling faster than the Switch did. Here’s how many consoles and games Nintendo has sold, how that compares with the original and when the next numbers arrive.

How many Switch 2 consoles have been sold?

Nintendo had sold 23.68 million Switch 2 consoles worldwide as of June 30, 2026, according to its sales data. That’s 19.86 million in the fiscal year from the June 5, 2025, launch to March 31, 2026, and 3.82 million from April to June 2026.

The April to June figure was 34.4% lower than in the same quarter of 2025, when the console launched. Nintendo said that for a system in its second year, sales still compare well with the original Switch, and that sell-through in Japan stayed solid after a price increase on May 25. The US price went up by $50, to $499.99, on Sept. 1, as our Switch 2 price page explains.

Switch 2 sales vs Switch 1

The original Switch launched on March 3, 2017, and had sold 17.79 million units by March 31, 2018, about 13 months later, according to Nintendo. The Switch 2 reached 23.68 million about 13 months after its launch, so it was roughly 5.9 million units, or 33%, ahead at the same point.

By June 30, 2018, about 16 months in, the original Switch had reached 19.67 million, still below the Switch 2’s 13-month total. Nintendo also said Switch 2 sell-through to shoppers from April to June 2026 beat what the original Switch sold at the same stage. The original Switch has sold 156.59 million in all. The Switch 2 is also ahead of the PS5, which had shipped 17.3 million by Dec. 31, 2021, about 13 and a half months after its launch, as our PS5 sales page shows.
