Switch 2 officially sold over 10 million units in its first 4 months

As they do each Quarter, Nintendo published its latest earnings report while updating its investor relations website, revealing just how well the console maker’s software and hardware are doing. Four months on from the launch of the Switch 2 (as of the 30th of September), Nintendo’s latest and greatest has officially sold over 10 million units.

Taking to their investor relations site to update the figures, Nintendo revealed that as of the 30th of September (almost exactly 4 months on from the console's launch) the Switch 2 has officially sold over 10 million units – 10.36 million to be specific.

While it is far too soon to come to any major conclusions from this data (especially as Nintendo made sure to offer plenty of supply during the system’s launch period), the Switch 2 has already almost reached the life-time sales for the ill-fated Wii U, which ended with just 13.56 million units sold.

The Switch 1 meanwhile continues to slowly inch its way towards becoming the best-selling console of all time, with it now sitting at 154.01 million units (just 0.01 million away from the Nintendo DS and a little over 6 million to take the top spot above the PlayStation 2).

All that said, with the Switch 1 going up in price instead of down, we will have to wait and see whether the nearly 9 year old console has enough juice in the tank to make it to the top of the podium.
