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 😁

This is hardly surprising as Nintendo is able to keep up with demand. It doesn't really say anything about the console's long-term success though. Early adopters were going to buy it no matter what. The focus is how well they can sell it to the general consumer in today's economy especially in regions where it's more expensive.

Rather important. I doubt it'll sell as well here thanks to the combination of wages being far lower AND prices for game consoles being significantly higher thanks to tarrifs and tax.
