This remarkable achievement was likely aided by strong inventory availability - addressing past supply challenges Nintendo and competitors have faced. It validates Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser's promise that U.S. stock levels would meet launch demand.
The original Switch sold 2.74 million units during its entire launch month following release.
The announcement follows reports that Switch 2 became Nintendo's fastest-selling console in UK history, dethroning the Nintendo 3DS.
