The Nintendo Switch 2 might be revolutionizing console sales just days following its launch. Following a highly anticipated release, the new console reportedly sold around three million units on its launch day, outpacing previous records held by the PlayStation 4 in 2013, which sold just over one million in its first day.

The Switch 2 became available on June 5, sporting a Mario Kart World bundle and various high-profile launch games such as Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour and ports of renowned titles like Cyberpunk 2077.

Prior to the launch, securing a Nintendo Switch 2 through pre-order was a challenge, and the demand surged immediately upon its release. Major retailers like GameStop and Walmart quickly sold out of their stock, and other outlets such as Target faced similar shortages shortly thereafter.

All signs indicate that Nintendo is aware of this unprecedented demand and is taking measures to ensure ample supplies are available for eager customers.
