Nintendo has confirmed that in the last two quarters, it has sold a staggering number of Switch 2 consoles. As part of its latest financial results, the company reported 10.36 million Switch 2 units sold as of September 30, in the two quarters since it went on sale. In the last three months alone, Nintendo sold 4.54 million Switch 2 consoles.
To put that into context, that's more than double what the original Switch console sold within the same two-month time period (4.7 million units sold), and even more than what Sony managed with the PS4 (7.5 million units sold) and PS5 (7.8 million units sold) during its first two quarters. With the Switch 2 selling well, Nintendo has now increased its hardware forecast for the business year, as it predicts that it'll sell 19 million Switch 2 consoles, up from its original estimate of 15 million. If Nintendo reaches this number, that'll put Switch 2 sales far ahead of the original Switch, PS4, and PS5 consoles during their launch years.
As for its predecessor, the Switch has now reached 154.01 million units sold since 2017. This puts the Switch within spitting distance of the Nintendo DS, which sold 154.02 million units. Nintendo noted a 60% decline in Switch sales when compared to the same period in its previous fiscal year, but it is predicting that the console will dethrone the Nintendo DS by the end of its financial year and will cement itself as the company's best-selling console of all time.
In the games department, Switch 2 launch game Mario Kart World has reached 9.57 million lifetime sales to date, and it is selling far better than its predecessor, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The game has a 92% attach rate, and around 8.1 million of these sales were from the Switch 2 hardware bundle that included the game. Donkey Kong Bananza has reached an impressive 3.49 million units sold since it launched in July, and the Switch 2 version of Mario Party Jamboree has hit 1.16 million units sold.
Looking ahead, Nintendo has a strong lineup for the holiday season. This month will see the launch of Kirby Air Riders and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, while December will see the highly anticipated release of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
