According to the latest figures from Circana, the U.S. video game sales tracker, the Nintendo Switch 2 has shattered records to become the fastest-selling gaming console in history! In June 2025 alone, the Switch 2 claimed the title of best-selling hardware, bumping the PlayStation 5 to second place and the Xbox Series X|S to third. Not to be overlooked, Elden Ring: Nightreign topped the software charts, while Mario Kart World zoomed in at third best-seller for the month.
“What the launch sales of Switch 2 primarily tell us is that they made a lot of Switch 2 to sell at launch. Lifetime sales and launch sales of a console often do not correlate, meaning that some consoles with small launches ended up doing incredibly well lifetime (PS2 only sold 400k in its launch month) while others with big launches ended up not doing as well lifetime. Since launch month demand is rarely satiated by available supply (and it is certainly not a great sign when it is, historically) all we can really get a read on at launch is the confidence of the manufacturer to make so many units available, and the ability of the supply chain to get those units into the market. But having the biggest launch month sales for any new video game hardware platform is a helluva good start.”
