Nintendo Switch 2 has set a new record in the U.S. gaming market, selling more than 1.1 million units in its launch week ending June 7, 2025. This marks the highest debut for any gaming console in the country, surpassing the previous record held by the PlayStation 4.
Sales from the My Nintendo Store were not included in this figure. Projections for the full first week estimate total sales between 1.3 and 1.35 million units, though these numbers have yet to be officially confirmed.
The best-selling physical games at launch were:
- Mario Kart World – the top-selling title, purchased by 79% of U.S. Switch 2 buyers either standalone or bundled with the hardware.
- Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition – the second best-seller.
- The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition – ranked third.
Nintendo confirmed that the Switch 2 is its fastest-selling console ever in the U.S., also achieving the highest global sales for a Nintendo platform within its first four days.
