Nintendo confirms 19.86 million Switch 2 units sold since launch in June 2025, revises FY2027 outlook
Nintendo has published its end-of-year financial results and confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 has sold 19.86 million units since its June 2025 launch.
The figure slightly exceeded a revised 19 million-unit forecast, but Nintendo has adjusted its forecast for fiscal year 2027 amid what it describes as a launch year that was more commercially concentrated than previous hardware releases.
According to the financial release, the company cited concentrated launch sales and the prospect of price increases when lowering its FY2027 unit forecast.
Despite that adjustment, Nintendo still expects to ship 16.50 million Switch 2 units under the updated pricing outlook.
Company statement paraphrased
Nintendo noted that the Switch 2 had a strong start after its June 2025 launch and that the company intends to sustain momentum by delivering the platform alongside a steady stream of software to a broad audience.
Nintendo outlined a near-term software plan for the platform, scheduling Yoshi and the Mysterious Book for May, Star Fox for June, and Splatoon Raiders for July.
The company added that it will continue to introduce new titles while supporting previously released software, and that other publishers also plan releases for the platform.
Financial performance highlights
The broader financial results were positive for the reporting period.
Net sales rose by 98.6 percent to 2,313.0 billion yen, while operating profit increased by 27.5 percent to 360.1 billion yen.
Those gains reflect the combined performance of Nintendo hardware, software, and related business segments during the fiscal year.
What the numbers mean for Switch 2 and the market
The 19.86 million total places Switch 2 among Nintendo s faster-selling launches in recent memory, though Nintendo s commentary highlights a different sales profile compared with previous console rollouts.
The company s updated FY2027 shipment target of 16.50 million units factors in both the concentration of early sales and changes in pricing strategy.
Nintendo s roadmap of first-party releases for May through July, combined with third-party support, underlines the company s intention to keep software momentum for Switch 2 through 2026.
The company s published figures provide a clear, verified snapshot of hardware sales and corporate performance as Nintendo moves into the next fiscal year.
