Nintendo's latest financial report has revealed that the Switch 2 has surpassed 23 million units sold, with 3.82 million consoles shifted in the first quarter of FY2027. Despite a year-on-year decrease of 34.4%, the company remains confident in the console's performance, citing a higher adoption rate than the original Switch.

The recent price hike in Japan, which took effect in May, has been attributed to the decline in sales. However, Nintendo is keen to emphasize that the Switch 2 is still selling at a significantly faster pace than its predecessor.
