Forums - Sales - Switch 2 sales pace 75% ahead of Switch 1 in the US

curl-6 on 27 August 2025

Thought this one deserved a thread; through July, sales of Switch 2 in the US are 75% ahead or almost double Switch 1's in the same timeframe.

Nintendo's new console has now sold over 2 million in the country.

Nintendo built a lot of goodwill with Switch, so I'm not overly surprised.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 122 million (was 105 million, then 115 million) Xbox Series X/S: 38 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million. then 40 million)

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

Worldwide? It should be near 18-21mil by the end of this calendar year (5.4mil Q2 + 4.1mil Q3 + 8.5-11.5mil Q4). For reference, Switch 1’s weakest holiday (pre-2023) was 7.23mil in 2017. Switch 2 should easily clear that, assuming supply is good and nothing crazy happens with pricing.

The Switch was coming off Wii-U. The Switch 2 is coming off the Switch 1. I suspect that is the likely cause.

There was one Silver lining for the Switch though. It could fully reuse the Wij U is library. The Switch will not have that luxury.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Very good point. But with the way the industry is trending, who knows? lol

I’m not so certain about that, we already have a couple examples of updated ports with added content like Mario Party Jamboree+Jamboree TV & Kirby Forgotten World+Star Crossed World. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more of these over the next few years to help fill out the lineup between new, major releases.
