Nintendo has confirmed that more than 26.35 million Nintendo Switch 2 consoles have been sold worldwide as of 30 September 2026, and that over 73.21 million Nintendo Switch 2 game units have been sold.
The figures were disclosed in the company’s latest sales update and cover hardware and software performance through the end of the fiscal quarter.
