Nintendo has published a new financial report, confirming the success of the new Switch 2 console. The device was released a few months ago and is in high demand worldwide, selling faster than all previous Nintendo systems in the same period.
In its first 4 months, Switch 2 sold over 10.36 million units, including 4.54 million consoles sold in the last quarter - the best second quarter in the company's history, surpassing the Wii's record (2.65 million).
The corporation has updated its annual forecasts: it now expects 19 million consoles and 48 million games to be sold, instead of the previous 15 million and 45 million. The old Switch is also showing excellent results - 4 million devices sold (previously 4.5 million) and 125 million games.
Mario Kart World became the best-selling game on Switch 2 with 9.57 million copies, and Donkey Kong Bananza sold 3.49 million copies.
On the first Switch, the record holders remain the same:
