Nintendo Switch 2 Breaks Records with 3.5 Million Opening Weekend Sales, Surpasses Original Switch’s First Month by Nearly a Million in Just Four Days

Whoa, so Nintendo’s got this new Switch 2 out on the block. And guess what? It absolutely smashed their old sales record—3.5 million in just four days. Yep, you read that right. That’s like, a gazillion more than the first Switch did in its first month. Seriously impressive, huh?

They’re bragging about it being the best launch in their history. Like, ever. And they’re aiming for 15 million by March 2026. Ambitious or what?

Now, I gotta mention – not everything went perfectly smooth. Some folks in New York? Total nightmare. They found their consoles with screens punctured by, wait for it, staples from receipts. Who even does that? Luckily, they got replacements, so it’s not all doom and gloom.

Meanwhile, across the ocean – good ol’ UK. Shoppers got their Switches unsealed. Broken tape, someone said. Maybe they used the wrong kind, who knows?

Oh, before I drift off, the Switch 2’s got new features. Joy-Con 2 controllers can now act like a mouse. Pretty slick, right? The screen’s bumped up to 7.9 inches, and it’s all 1080p and 120Hz goodness.

Underneath all that, there’s tech stuff I barely get—something about ARM Cortex this and Nvidia that. But hey, 256GB storage sounds cool, and you can ramp it up to 2TB. Plus, some clever folks are talking about adding M2 NVMe SSDs. Like, you can DIY that!

And if you’re itching to grab one of these beauties, fear not. They’re still chilling on shelves at GameStop and Best Buy, and plenty around the UK too.

Oh, and if you’re into staying updated with all this geeky goodness, follow Tom’s Hardware. They’ve got the scoop on all this and more.

Alright, that’s it from my rambling brain.
