RUMOR: Switch 2 sells 5 million in its first month

We know for a fact that the Switch 2 sold 3.5 million in its first 4 days. That was enough to make it the fastest-selling piece of gaming hardware ever. Now, roughly one month after launch, it seems the Switch 2 has more than held on to that record.

Rumor has it that Nintendo had updated their official investor relations portal with a new sales stat for the Switch 2, but the data has since been removed. With that being the case, we’ll stress that the following number isn’t 100% confirmed. Before the posting was yanked, Nintendo had shared that the Switch 2 sold through 5 million units worldwide in 26 days.

If that figure is correct, that would mean the Switch 2 is still holding on to the record of fastest-selling game hardware ever. To put things in perspective, the original Switch sold over 5 million units in 4 months, while the PS5 hit that milestone in 2.5 months. Thanks to the supply Nintendo is getting out there and the staggering demand, the Switch 2 has supposedly broken the PS5 record with ease.
