Nintendo said on August 6 that cumulative Switch 2 sales reached 23.68 million units, according to its quarterly results for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The same investor materials said the original Switch family had sold 156.59 million units worldwide. Nintendo published the figures in its first-quarter results for the fiscal year ending March 2027 and updated its hardware sales tables on its investor relations site the same day. The August 6 filing places the newer console 3.82 million units above the 19.86 million lifetime total Nintendo had reported as of March 31, 2026. Nintendo’s earlier sales data page had listed the original Switch at 155.92 million units as of that March quarter-end. ### How much did Nintendo say it sold in the latest quarter? Nintendo’s updated figures imply 3.82 million additional Switch 2 units were sold in the April-to-June quarter, based on the move from 19.86 million units at March 31 to 23.68 million at June 30. (nintendo.co.jp) The company’s first-quarter release covered the three months ended June 30, 2026. (nintendo.co.jp) The original Switch added 670,000 units over the same period, based on Nintendo’s move from 155.92 million units at March 31 to 156.59 million at June 30. Nintendo’s sales tables group the original platform as Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch OLED Model and Nintendo Switch Lite. ### What else did the filing show besides hardware? Nintendo’s August 6 materials said Switch 2 software sales reached 58.17 million units worldwide, while original Switch software sales reached 1,561.95 million units. (nintendo.co.jp) The same release said net sales for the quarter were 517.8 billion yen, operating profit was 142.5 billion yen, ordinary profit was 206.1 billion yen and net profit was 96.0 billion yen. CNBC reported that Nintendo’s fiscal first-quarter revenue and profit beat analysts’ estimates, citing the company’s Thursday earnings report. CNBC also said Switch 2 console sales had slowed from the launch period. ### How does that compare with the launch period? Nintendo said on June 11, 2025 that Switch 2 sold more than 3.5 million units worldwide in its first four days after the June 5, 2025 launch. (gonintendo.com) That announcement gave the company an early benchmark for the console’s first week on the market. GameSpot reported on August 6 that Switch 2 had sold 23.68 million units in its first 13 months on the market, compared with 17.79 million for the original Switch over the same span. (cnbc.com) That comparison was reported by GameSpot, not by Nintendo in the filing. ### Where did Nintendo publish the numbers? (nintendo.co.jp) Nintendo’s investor relations site lists August 6, 2026 as the release date for its “Three Months Earnings” materials for the fiscal year ending March 2027. The IR site also says the company updated its “Dedicated Video Game Sales Units” page and “Top Selling Title Sales Units” page on the same date. Nintendo’s IR calendar lists September 30, 2026 as the record date for interim dividends, which is the next dated item now shown on the company’s schedule page.
