>According to data supplied by Famitsu (reported by Yomiuri) the console has reportedly sold at least 1.5 million units in Japan during its first month. It’s worth noting, as highlighted by Katan Games’ Dr. Serkan Toto, this doesn’t include units sold by Nintendo themselves; therefore, the number is likely much higher.

>Famitsu collects data from over 3,000 Japanese retail stores. According to this data, the Nintendo Switch 2 has sold 1,538,260 units in its first month, the highest sales for any console in Japan since the publication began collecting data in 1996.

>The Game Boy Advance previously held the record for Nintendo machines, selling 1,367,433 units in its first month, followed by the Nintendo DS at 1,269,846.

>The Switch 2’s sales figure indicates it’s selling at least three times faster than the original Switch in Japan, which managed 556,633 units during the same period. The best first-month sales for a non-Nintendo system was 1,134,862 units, which the PS2 managed in 2000.

>Nintendo Switch 2 sold 3.5 million units globally in its first four days on sale, the company said, making it the fastest-selling Nintendo system ever, and likely the biggest ever console launch.
