Nintendo Breaks Records as Switch 2 Sells 3.5M Units in Four Days
Nintendo''s Switch 2 has shattered expectations, selling 3.5 million units in just four days—surpassing the original Switch''s first-month sales of 2.74 million. The console''s midnight launch saw gaming enthusiasts queueing for hours, while U.S. retailers like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy quickly ran out of stock.
