According to the documents provided by Nintendo itself, the Switch 2 has shipped to retailers 17.37 million units in four months, between its release on June 5 and December 31.
This means that Switch 2 shipments during the Holiday quarter were a whopping 7.01 million units. We’ll be able to compare with its main rival, the PS5, in a couple of days, when Sony announces its own results.
We also hear that in the 4th week of December 2025, the Switch 2 is estimated to have sold through to customers 15 million units, and it’s the fastest-selling console released by Nintendo to date.
The original Nintendo Switch also continues to do some numbers. Its lifetime sales have been updated to 155.37 million units as of December 31.
An update about lifetime software sales for both consoles has also been provided. Nintendo Switch 2 games have shipped 37.93 million units, while Switch games have shipped 1,500.16 million units.
