Nintendo shared its Q2 and six-month earnings report for fiscal 2025 today, spanning April through September. The data shows the Nintendo Switch 2 has exceeded early adoption rates of the first-gen Switch.

As of September 30th, the upgraded handheld hybrid moved 10.36 million units—outperforming the original model’s comparable launch window by several months. Software sales for the Switch 2 stand at 20.62 million copies, reflecting an attach rate approaching two titles per console.

Flagship launch title Mario Kart World dominated software charts with 9.57 million copies sold. Donkey Kong Bananza followed with 3.49 million units shifted during Q2, demonstrating strong post-release momentum.

Buoyed by these results, Nintendo upgraded its annual hardware forecast from 15 million to 19 million Switch 2 units through March 2026. This ambitious target comes despite challenges like U.S. import tariffs, which prompted analysts like DFC Intelligence to lower projections from 17 million to 15 million earlier this year.

The aging Nintendo Switch sold 1.89 million hardware units and 61.56 million software copies during the reporting period. Full-year hardware estimates were trimmed from 4.5 million to 4 million, though software expectations rose to 125 million units (up from 105 million). Lifetime Switch sales now total 154 million, putting Sony’s PS2 record (160.6 million) just out of reach—a milestone Nintendo appears content to leave unchallenged as focus shifts to its new platform.
