While Nintendo has yet to unveil official figures regarding the console's global launch, data enthusiast Pierre485 reports that the Switch 2 has already sold an astounding 200,000 units in France alone, earning it the title of the fastest-selling console in the nation's history. This remarkable feat overshadowed the previous record held by Sony's PlayStation 5, which sold 107,000 units, albeit under significant supply constraints. Moreover, the excitement doesn’t stop there; the attach rate for the new Mario Kart World game has reportedly exceeded an impressive 95%.
