Oh, the Nintendo Switch 2, that little plastic box of dreams (and crushing debt for your parents). Apparently, it was such a sales juggernaut, it made even Nintendo’s accountants sweat 😓. But hold your horses, folks, because reality might be as disappointing as getting socks for Christmas.
According to some rando on My Nintendo News (because, let’s be honest, who trusts actual journalism anymore? 🙄), the Switch 2 supposedly sold over 5 million units worldwide. A “substantial jump,” they say, like anyone actually knows what that means. The Americas led the charge with 1.8 million units because apparently, we can’t resist shiny new toys. Japan followed with 1.47 million because, duh, it’s Nintendo. Europe scraped by with 1.18 million because they’re too busy being sophisticated, and “other regions” got a measly 0.55 million because who cares about them anyway? 🤷
But wait! Nintendo, those party poopers, swooped in to ruin the fun. Some industry “analyst” (probably just a guy in his basement with a Twitter account) named David Gibson dared to question the Mario Gods themselves. Nintendo’s response? “Oopsie! 🙊 Turns out, that ‘data leak’ was just us playing around with website updates.” They claimed it was “test data,” “inaccurate,” and “not related to any sales result or projection.” In other words, “We messed up, please don’t sue us.” 😂
Despite the whole “fake news” debacle, Mr. Basement Analyst Gibson still thinks the Switch 2 will sell like hotcakes 🥞. He projects a measly 5.4 million units by August 1st, 2025. Apparently, that’s “in line” with the original Switch, which sold a pathetic 2.74 million units in its first month. Who cares? Numbers are boring. 😴
Even though the Switch 2 costs more than your car 🚗 and Mario Kart World requires you to sell a kidney, people are still hyped! Why? Because of its “solid hardware” (whatever that means) and Nintendo’s “strong brand value” (aka nostalgia). And if some “rumors” of a Nintendo Direct turn out to be true, maybe, just maybe, they’ll announce some games that aren’t just rehashes of old classics. But let’s be real, we’ll buy them anyway. 🤡
