Nintendo Switch 2 sales started strong during the first week. The console moved over 3.5 million units during four days after launch. Market experts say the device sells twice as fast as the original Switch model. Gaming research company DFC Intelligence raised their prediction from 15 million to 16 million units for the year. Strong demand could push sales to 20 million consoles if Nintendo makes enough hardware.
Nintendo plans to sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles through March 2026. The company uses careful estimates for new products based on past experience. When the first Switch launched in 2017, Nintendo guessed 10 million units would sell. They actually moved 15 million consoles that year instead. DFC Intelligence believes Nintendo can make enough consoles and handle shipping problems. The long-term forecast stays at 100 million units through 2029.
