Nintendo Switch 2 Achieves Record UK Launch Despite Trailing PS5 and Xbox Series X/S
Nintendo''s Switch 2 has reportedly become the company''s most successful UK console launch, surpassing the original Switch''s sales by more than double and outperforming the Nintendo 3DS. Despite this milestone, it trails behind the launches of Sony''s PS5 and Microsoft''s Xbox Series X/S in terms of units sold.
The console ranks as the fourth-best-selling UK launch in history by units, behind PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. However, in revenue terms, Switch 2 has secured the third position, exceeding PS4''s performance due to its higher retail price.
Nintendo remains bullish on its sales trajectory, projecting over 15 million units sold globally. Retail demand in the UK appears strong, with most stores reporting sell-outs shortly after launch.
