Nintendo Swiftly Denies Switch 2's 5 Million Sales Claim: What's the Real Truth?

Nintendo has stepped forward to correct a recent blunder regarding its newly launched console. Initial reports on its website suggested that the Nintendo Switch 2 had sold over five million units globally since its debut last month. However, the company has clarified that this information is “not accurate.” The exact sales figures remain a mystery, as Nintendo has chosen not to disclose them at this time.

This clarification follows insight from analyst David Gibson, who reached out to Nintendo for more details. The company stated that the figure listed was strictly for testing purposes and should not be interpreted as an indication of actual sales.
