US video game hardware and software sales tracker Circana has said that the Nintendo Switch 2 is now the fastest-selling video game console in history. The console was the best-selling video game hardware in June 2025 with the PlayStation 5 pushed to second and Xbox Series X|S to third. Mario Kart World was the third best-selling video game for the month of June with Elden Ring Nightreign at No.1 in the software charts.
“What the launch sales of Switch 2 primarily tell us is that they made a lot of Switch 2 to sell at launch. Lifetime sales and launch sales of a console often do not correlate, meaning that some consoles with small launches ended up doing incredibly well lifetime (PS2 only sold 400k in its launch month) while others with big launches ended up not doing as well lifetime. Since launch month demand is rarely satiated by available supply (and it is certainly not a great sign when it is, historically) all we can really get a read on at launch is the confidence of the manufacturer to make so many units available, and the ability of the supply chain to get those units into the market. But having the biggest launch month sales for any new video game hardware platform is a helluva good start.”
