The Nintendo Switch 2 Has sold over 2 million units in the United States alone. It has been a big year for the long -awaited console, which has seen record -breaking sales figures after a rocky pre -order situation and controversy about its use of game key cards. In addition, sales success continues, with Nintendo Switch 2, which passes the latest milestone faster than its predecessor.
Despite complaints from players about its price and its handling of physical gaming cassettes, Nintendo's latest console has performed remarkably well. In July, Switch surpassed 2 6 million copies sold worldwide and took less than two months to reach the impressive figure. Games like Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World Has also been big hits, and it seems that things are still not slowing down for Nintendo.
Nintendo Switch 2 has sold over 2 million units in the US
Games Industry Analyst Mat Piscatella recently shared that Switch 2 had passed 2 million units sold in the US at Bluesky, revealing that these sales were enough to operate a 21% every month's increase in hardware expenses. He also pointed out how the console is now 75% before the rate of the original switch at this point in the system's life cycle. Piscatella himself had predicted that Switch 2 would not sell the original, even though it was before Nintendo revealed it and pre -orders quickly ended. There is always a chance that sales can slow down before it surpasses the og switch, but so far Switch 2 has set a quarry rate.
July 2025 US video game market height points from Circana & Sensor Tower: A big month for Garena's Free Fire helped to lift video game content that was spent higher in July a year ago, while Nintendo Switch 2 ran profits in hardware (while they exceeded 2 million units sold on the road).

Comparisons with its predecessor are not the only impressive with Switch 2's last milestone. Piscatella also revealed that hardware sales for both the PS5 and Xbox series X/S fell by 47% and 69% respectively in July. This means that Nintendo more than compensates for significant reductions among its competitors to lift the total market. Switch 2 has already passed the life sales of the series X and S in Japan, but now it carries the gaming hardware sector in the United States, at least at the moment.
Surprisingly, Switch 2 remains the best -selling piece of video game hardware in the United States for both July and 2025 as a whole. However, the enormous success of the system can do things the more frustrating for some companies and players. There are reports that third-party studios are struggling to get Switch 2 Dev statements, which can lead to fewer indie titles on the platform. Things may change in the future, as the system is still new, but at the moment things are uncertain. However, what is certain is that Switch 2 has been good news for Nintendo.
