Forums - Sales - June 2025 Circana (NPD) Thread + Predictions - Switch 2 Launch Month

Nightreign still the best selling game of the month!

"Physical sales of Mario Kart World debuted in third place, however, it should be noted digital sales for Nintendo games are not included on the charts. Software bundled with hardware are not included on the best-selling titles chart.

82 percent of those who purchased a Nintendo Switch 2 acquired Mario Kart World either with a physical new game sale or as part of the bundle. The figure is missing standalone digital sales."

With this, we can extrapolate MKW world ~1.3 million units minus digital. Which also means both Death Stranding and Nightreing sold over 1.3 million digital

I think even with digital included MKW would not pass 1.6 million units, since this is the estimate for hardware

That's not how this works. While you can extrapolate MKW sales with the info that was given, you can't tell how much the other two games have sold in June.



Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.

Oh I see, this is because the bundled sales do not count for the charts right?

Indeed.

Xbox Series was outsold by the Switch 1 again so it's now selling less than an 8 year old console that just got replaced. Xbox hardware really is finished now though surprisingly neither of them notably declined from last month despite the circumstances. Also wild to see the Switch 2 beat the record by that much despite launching in June instead of November.

One interesting fact is according to Circana, Switch 1 sales increased 25% month on month during June in the US.

That's cause June is a 5 week period so the average per week was basically identical compared to May.
