The Switch 2 launched back on June 5th, 2025 and its been trucking along ever since. We’ve already seen the Switch 2 hit all kinds of sales milestones and reach records, and now we have yet another to share with you.
In roughly 15 weeks, the Switch 2 has managed to move over 2 million units in Japan. While the system is much easier to find around the world, Japan continues to see issues with stock, causing millions to try their luck at lotteries to snag the system. As Nintendo continues to get more units out there, Japan is gobbling them up as soon as they become available.
To put things in perspective, the original Switch sold 2 million units in roughly 35 weeks, so the Switch 2 is pretty far ahead in terms of comparisons. 2+ million in 15 weeks is enough to make Switch 2 Japan’s third fastest-selling system, putting it behind the PS2 (2.03 million) and GBA (2.28 million).
