{{AFC comment|1=The extra source providing coverage on sales ”for the console” is not really a strong indicia that there is coverage on sales ”of the console’s games” to meet [[WP:NLIST]]. This absolutely will meet [[WP:GNG]] eventually, but there just aren’t sources of the kind like ”Best Selling Games For The Switch in 2025” yet, because…there aren’t that many games.

{{AFC comment|1=Agree, it’s slightly [[WP:TOOSOON]]. I understand the direct Nintendo sales figures are reliable to substantiate without trying to patch together random news articles about how many figures a game sold, but maybe for [[WP:NLIST]] there ideally should be reliable secondary coverage about what the unit sales are for Switch 2 games so far as a general topic to show sourcing is turning its mind to the performance of the games. Regardless, the chart has limited utility given there are barely any games to compare. [[User:Vrxces|VRXCES]] ([[User talk:Vrxces|talk]]) 21:30, 8 November 2025 (UTC)}}

  • Comment: As per Sergecross73 (only one item), I have declined this draft. Also see WP:NLIST. JuniperChill (talk) 22:02, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: Stringly opposed to publishing. It is WP:TOOSOON. It can’t be a “list” with only a single item on it. Sergecross73 msg me 13:55, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

I added some more sources, highlighting that the game is still the fastest-selling console.

There are now three games on the list.

Best-selling Nintendo Switch 2 games

A Nintendo Switch 2 console with Joy-Con 2

This is a list of video games for the Nintendo Switch 2 video game console that have sold or shipped at least one million copies. As Nintendo shares the sales of their video games every quarter while most other publishers do not share sales figures per console, this list consists mostly of Nintendo-published titles.

Nintendo Switch 2, a hybrid home console and handheld device, launched worldwide on June 5, 2025. Within the first four days, it has sold over 3.5 million units, making it the fastest-selling Nintendo console to date.[1] As of September 30, 2025, the Switch 2 has sold over 10.36 million units while its games have sold over 20.62 million units, [2][3]

As of September 30, 2025, Mario Kart World is the best-selling Switch 2 title, selling over 9.57 million units worldwide.[3][4] 8.10 million of these units came from the console’s bundle.[3]

  1. ^ Only the initial release date on this platform is listed.
  2. ^ Pokémon Legends: Z-A sold a total of 5.8 million units, with the Pokémon Company reporting that half of its sales came from the Switch 2 version.[5]
