The
Switch
2
is
Nintendo’s
best-selling
console
to
date,

according
to
the
company.
This
was
presumably
said
while
sitting
atop
a
large
pile
of
gold
and
Mario
hats.

Nintendo
revealed
that
their
new
console
has
managed
to
sell
an
impressive
3.5
million
units
in
just
four
days.
By
this
point,
it’s
probably
already
past
4
million
or
maybe
even
5
million.

For
comparison,
the
PS5
managed
to
achieve
4.5
million
units
sold,
except
it
took
an
entire
financial
quarter
for
that
to
happen.
Mind
you,
the
PS5
was
also
heavily
supply
constrained
due
to
Covid
and
its
vendetta
against
gaming.
Well,
that
and
its
vendetta
against
humans
in
general,
I
suppose,
but
that’s
less
important.

Microsoft
has
never
revealed
any
solid
data
on
the
Xbox
Series
launch,
so
we
can’t
compare
against
that.

Nintendo
is
forecasting
15
million
Switch
2’s
will
be
sold
by
the
end
of
the
financial
year,
which
is
March
2026.
That
would
equal
the
PS5’s
first
year
on
the
market,
but
considering
the
early
pace
of
the
Switch
2
there’s
every
chance
it
will
blast
past
Nintendo’s
goal
and
keep
on
going.
