10.32 million units — that's how many Nintendo Switch 2 units video game lovers have bought since its launch in June this year
Nintendo revealed the numbers on its official hardware sales tracking page this week.
The video game console, launched on 5 June, has surpassed sales of the Japanese multinational video game company's worst selling console, the Wii U.
Wii U, released in 2012, struggled to attract video game lovers. In its lifetime (which lasted just four years), Nintendo only sold 13.56 million units, making it the brand's biggest failure in its recent history.
The Nintendo Switch 2 was released on 5 June 2025.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A sold around 5.8 million units in its first week of release alone in October.
Analysts believe Game Freak's latest video game could have moved the needle on the sale of Nintendo's latest console.
Sales of the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to rise in the upcoming holiday season.

With the holiday season around the corner, Nintendo is set to welcome titles like Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Kirby Air Riders, and Metroid Prime 4.
All three titles have significant following among hardcore gamers.
Nintendo has set a target to sell 15 million Switch 2 units by March 2026 — a target the company is expected to hit despite the console's hefty RM2,488 price tag.
