During the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026, Nintendo sold 8.67 million copies of games for its new console and 24.4 million copies for the original Nintendo Switch. The best-selling game for the new generation of Nintendo Switch was Mario Kart World, with 5.63 million copies sold as of June 30, 2025, due to the fact that from the very beginning of Nintendo Switch 2 sales, the game was sold as part of a bundle with the console.

Meanwhile, sales of the original Nintendo Switch from April to June 2025 amounted to 0.98 million units, showing a decline of 53.5% and reaching a total of 153.1 million units sold.
