Reports are coming in that Nintendo is cutting Switch 2 console production by a third following an underwhelming holiday season for the console, especially in the US.
The Nintendo Switch 2 had a fantastic launch and sold 5.82 million units in under a month, making it the fastest-selling console of all time. The company predicted the Switch 2 would sell 15 million units within the first year, which it has already handily beaten, having sold over 17 million in its first six months. But despite a strong launch, the PS5 outsold the Switch 2 by about 1 million consoles in the last three months of 2025. And a weaker holiday season has apparently caused Nintendo to rethink its current production plans.
