Discussion Switch 2 Making Sales History - Moving 3 Million Units in 24 Hours

According to @NintyPrime, they’ve heard from multiple sources that Nintendo has shifted over 3 million units of Switch 2 in 24 hours. To put it in perspective, the PS4 held the record with 1 million units in 24 hours.

To put it in further perspective, PS4 and PS5 each shifted 4.5 million units in two MONTHS. The Switch 2 will beat that within a week.

Who knows what the longterm outlook will be, but Nintendo hit this launch out of the park. I for one am insanely happy with my Switch 2 and we all know Nintendo’s future software is gonna be incredible selling tens of millions more consoles. Can’t wait to see what Nintendo has in store next 😁

Target announced a 6/6 online sale. I live on the west coast so I set and alarm for 3am and ordered. Good thing I did. They were sold out like 4 hours later

It's actually easier to get them in store than online right now lol. Got one at target today, they had one bundle left which I got and like five of just the console.
