French retailer FNAC has talked about how popular the Nintendo Switch 2 has been since it has been available for pre-order. Hardware sales are apparently at “historic levels” and sales have also been extremely good for the various accessories such as the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller and the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera for GameChat. Here’s some highlights:
- Hardware sales at a historical level
- Stock situation is good but could get tense in June
- Higher average spent by user, closer to core gamers than Nintendo’s more mainstream audience.
- Price won’t be an issue for that demographic
- Accessories at a very high level of sales, especially the Camera.
- Mario Kart bundle extremely popular
- Software sales lagging behind, but should ramp up closer to launch.
- 12 midnight launch events planned, in Paris and in other cities.
