This means it “remains the fastest selling video game hardware platform in tracked history,” Piscatella notes, pointing out that no other console had reached 4.4 million sales in the US in its first seven months.
Unit sales of Switch 2 are currently 35% ahead of PS4 during the same time frame, and “nearly double” those of the original Switch. Piscatella said that Circana’s pre-launch forecast was 4.3 million sales, meaning Switch 2 slightly bettered this.
While other platforms saw year-on-year declines in sales, Switch 2 helped to offset this, resulting in hardware spending increasing by 6% overall in December 2025 compared to December 2024, and 9% overall in 2025 compared to 2024.
