Nintendo Switch 2 sales have dropped 37.4% year-on-year to 6.49 million units in the first half of its current fiscal year, but the console still comfortably outpaces the original Switch and PlayStation 5 by more than six million units, according to Nintendo's latest financial results. The Switch 2 has sold a further 2.68 million consoles, bringing the to-date sold-in number to 26.35 million. Nintendo previously forecast Switch 2 sales to decline in the console's second year due to price rises and plentiful stock availability at launch. For the first half of its current fiscal year, Nintendo Switch sales decreased by 32.7% year-on-year to 1.27 million units. Nintendo said its forecasts remain unchanged. Overall sales from Nintendo's dedicated video game platform business declined by 15.3% year-on-year, while IP-related income rose by 87.9% due in part to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Dr Serkan Toto, CEO of Japanese games industry consultancy firm Kantan Games, believes Nintendo will mainly rely on the Ocarina of Time remake for the rest of the fiscal year, which he thinks will sell much better than other analysts are predicting. He also believes investors can expect a much bigger 2027 from Nintendo. In software, Nintendo Switch 2 game sales increased by 18.8% year-on-year to 24.49 million units, and Nintendo Switch software sales increased by 6.8% year-on-year to 65.73 million units. Notably, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream sold 8.81 million units, Rhythm Heaven Groove sold 2.89 million units, and Splatoon Raiders sold 2.42 million units. Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave sold 1.34 million units, Star Fox sold 1.17 million units, and Mario Kart World sold another 1.78 million units. The original Nintendo Switch console has sold an additional 1.27 million units during the first half of the current fiscal year, bringing its lifetime total to 157.20 million. The best-selling console of all-time is the PlayStation 2 at 160 million. Looking ahead, Nintendo's flagship 2026 Switch 2 release, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, is out today. This will be followed by Pikmin 4 , Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy on November 12, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 , Nintendo Switch 2 Edition on December 3, and Metroid Ravenous on January 28.
