The Nintendo Switch 2 has been exceedingly popular, and Nintendo is confident this trend will continue. Today, the company updated its hardware sales forecast, projecting nearly 20 million units sold for the Switch 2.
Nintendo released its Q2 FY26 earnings report on November 4, 2025. In the report, Nintendo revised its forecast for Switch 2 sales, now expecting to sell 19 million units during its 2026 fiscal year ending March 31.
It’s important to note that this fiscal year does not represent a full 12 months of sales, as the Nintendo Switch 2 was released on June 5, 2025. Previously, Nintendo had anticipated selling 15 million Switch 2 consoles, so this new forecast marks a significant increase of 4 million units compared to the May 2025 projection.
In addition to raising its sales expectations, Nintendo is ramping up production of the Switch 2 to 25 million units by March 2026, preparing to meet the strong consumer demand.
