Nintendo is having a pretty good time of it at the moment.

The short version

  • Last year, we learned that the Switch 2 became the fastest selling video game hardware device in US history, usurping the PS4's golden record .
  • Then, earlier this year, we learned that Switch 2 sales reached nearly 20m almost one year after release , making it the second-fastest selling console in US history .
  • Buoyed by the runaway successes of games like Pokopia and other first-party hits, not even the reality of a hardware price rise seems to be hobbling Nintendo's momentum.

What happened

And it seems the company is keen to keep this pace up. "We're at the beginning of Nintendo Switch 2," says Nintendo of America COO, Devon Pritchard in an interview with Variety .
