According to data published by the company, as of September 30, 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 has sold 10.36 million hardware units globally since its launch earlier this year.

Alongside robust hardware sales, the company reported that software sales for the platform have reached an impressive 20.62 million units in the same period. This positive momentum has led Nintendo to adjust its forward-looking projections for the fiscal year.

Leading the list is Mario Kart World, the latest installment in the popular racing franchise, which has already achieved sales of 9.57 million units.

Another notable entry is Donkey Kong Bananza, which has sold 3.49 million copies since launch.

These figures underscore the continued strength of Nintendo’s flagship franchises as key drivers behind the platform’s early commercial achievements. A Nintendo spokesperson expressed optimism in a prepared statement, noting that the strong performance of both hardware and software on the Switch 2 platform highlights the enduring appeal of Nintendo's original titles and innovative gaming experiences.
