The Nintendo Switch 2 was always going to enjoy a big launch - it was coming out alongside Mario Kart World, after all, the first in the series in over a decade - but an analyst has now revealed that the console actually broke records in the US.
Over on Bluesky, Circana analyst Mat Piscatella revealed that the "Nintendo Switch 2 set a new all-time launch week unit sales record for video game hardware in the US, with over 1.1 million units sold during the week ending June 7, 2025." (The Switch 2 came out June 5, by the way.) To make matters even more impressive, that doesn't even include sales made from My Nintendo Store, the loyalty program, so final numbers might even be a little higher.
