We already knew that Nintendo got off to a strong start with the Switch 2’s launch, and now that the console has been out for a bit, we’re getting a clearer picture on exactly how it performed.
According to market research firm Circana, Nintendo’s new console “debuted as the fastest selling video game hardware device in US history,” selling 1.6 million units in June.
That topped the previous launch month record held by the PS4, which moved 1.1 million units in November of 2023.
And overall the launch buoyed what the firm says is “a record high for hardware spending” in the month of June at $978 million.
And in terms of accessories, the Switch 2 Pro Controller had a 32 percent attach rate, according to the research firm.
