This impressive figure was largely achieved due to the ample supply of Switch 2 units—a notable improvement compared to past hardware shortages faced by Nintendo and its competitors. It aligns with comments from Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser, who assured that sufficient stock would meet U.S. demand, which has indeed proven strong.

By comparison, the original Nintendo Switch sold 2.74 million units in its first month.

This achievement follows a recent report from The Game Business stating that the Switch 2 has become the fastest-selling Nintendo console in UK history, surpassing the previous record held by the Nintendo 3DS.
