Increased Sales Records for Nintendo in the Months April to June
The Nintendo Switch 2, the latest offering from the gaming giant, has made a splash in the global market. In just seven weeks since its June 5 launch, over 6 million units of the console have been sold worldwide[1][3][4].
This impressive figure marks a significant milestone for Nintendo, making the Switch 2 the fastest-selling console in its history. Demand for the device is currently exceeding supply in multiple countries, a situation that Nintendo regrets and is working diligently to resolve[1][2][3].
The strong demand for the Switch 2 has propelled Nintendo's financial performance. For the three months ending June 30, 2025, the company reported a total revenue of approximately 572.3 billion yen (around $3.8 billion USD) from Nintendo Switch 2 hardware and software sales[3]. Operating profit for that period grew 4% to 56.9 billion yen (about $378 million)[3].
Software sales were particularly robust, with 8.67 million units sold in the first quarter following the Switch 2's launch[1][4]. Regionally, Japan led the way with 1.27 million units sold, followed by the Americas (2.08 million units), Europe (1.34 million units), and other regions (1.13 million units)[1][4].
Nintendo's net profit for the April-June 2023 period also saw a significant increase, rising by 18.6% to 96,032 million yen[2]. However, sales of the original Nintendo Switch console decreased to 980,000 units in the same period[2].
In an effort to address the supply shortage, Nintendo plans to strengthen its production and supply systems[1]. The company's record sales and profits serve as a testament to the appeal of the Switch 2 and the enduring popularity of Nintendo's gaming ecosystem.
