Overview
- The Switch 2 reached one million units sold in the UK after 52 weeks, a milestone the original Switch took 82 weeks to hit.
- Measured by weeks-to-one-million, that pace is 30 weeks faster than the original Switch and matches the Xbox One’s UK ramp.
- The launch places Switch 2 as a joint sixth fastest-selling home console in UK history and is the strongest recent Nintendo hardware performance there behind only the Wii.
- The UK result is notable because Nintendo has historically underperformed in that market compared with regions where the console sells more strongly.
- Nintendo told investors it has sold almost 20 million Switch 2 units globally, it has cut next-year unit guidance to 16.5 million, and it has announced planned price increases for several markets starting September 1.
