Nintendo Switch 2 Breaks All Sales Records in Japan
After a huge worldwide start with 3.5 million units sold in just four days, new numbers from Japan show that the Nintendo Switch 2 is a big hit. It has set new records in the country for console launch sales.
Japan's Launch Sales in Detail
As per the sales data by Famitsu, the Nintendo Switch 2 got record-breaking numbers in its first month in Japan:
- First Month Sales: 1.5 million units sold in Japan.
- Compared to the first Switch: This number is three times the sales of the original Nintendo Switch in its first month.
- A New High: This is the most first-month sales for any console in Japan since 1996, when Famitsu began keeping track of sales data.
Why These Figures Matter
We should note a few things about these numbers. The data from Famitsu only shows sales from stores and not those sold directly by Nintendo, so the actual number might be even more. Also, the Switch 2 cost less in Japan than in other places, which likely helped boost sales.
What's Next for Sales Data
More detailed data about how the console is doing all over the world will be out when Nintendo shares its next quarterly finance report.
