History

Historical Context

Nintendo launched the hybrid Switch on March 3 2017, reviving console growth after the Wii U’s poor performance. Strong early sales—over 2.74 million units worldwide in the first month and more than 10 million by December—spurred production ramps and restored profitability. Building on that momentum, Nintendo released the Switch 2 on June 5 2025, which sold over 3.5 million units in its first four days.
