Nintendo Switch 2 Sells Over 26 Million Units
Nintendo says stronger memory supply will let it increase Switch 2 production after 26 million units sold, while ruling out another price increase.
- Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa announced the company is "not considering additional changes" to Switch 2 pricing, citing sufficient memory quantities to maintain production levels.
- On September 1, the company raised console prices by $50 across Canada, Europe, and Japan, part of a broader industry trend affecting gaming hardware.
- PlayStation raised prices for the PS5 and PS5 Pro on several occasions, while Xbox increased Series X and Series S console costs in August.
- Still, Switch 2 sales are tracking ahead of the original Switch despite hardware volume declining compared to the 2025 launch; Nintendo has sold 26 million units.
- Earlier market volatility pushed one ROM supplier to exit the business, while Nintendo previously raised accessory prices following Trump Administration tariffs.
