Sales Performance
Nintendo reported that the Switch 2 sold 4.54 million units in the three months ending September 30, 2025, surpassing the PS4's 7.5 million, PS5's 7.8 million, and original Switch's 4.7 million in comparable launch periods. The original Switch has now reached 154.01 million lifetime sales, nearly tying the Nintendo DS at 154.02 million. For the full fiscal year, Nintendo increased its hardware forecast by 4 million to 19 million units and software by 3 million to 48 million units, while adjusting original Switch hardware expectations down to 4 million but boosting software to 125 million.
Upcoming Switch 2 Games
The financial report reconfirms release dates for key first-party titles, addressing concerns about the console's game lineup. Confirmed releases include:
- Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment on November 6, 2025, a Musou-style prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Broader windows are set for Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book in Spring 2026, Pokémon Pokopia and Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave in 2026, and Splatoon Raiders with no firm date. Kirby Air Riders is slated for November 20, 2026, though some reports suggest 2025—Nintendo's official reconfirmation favors the later date. These titles, including enhanced editions of popular games, aim to bolster the Switch 2's library alongside third-party support.
The updates highlight Nintendo's confidence in the console's momentum heading into the holiday season.
