Ampere Analysis: 13M Nintendo Switch 2 units will be sold in 2025
Despite strong launch sales, Ampere Analysis doesn't believe the console will outpace original Nintendo Switch lifetime sales.
The company forecasts that 13 million units will be sold by the end of this year. By the end of 2026, 32.2 million, by the end of 2027, 51.2 million. And by 2030, 104.3 million. The launch is expected to be faster than the original system, but total sales won’t reach the numbers of the original Nintendo Switch.
The active user base is expected to peak in 2028, with more than 130 million active users.
Ampere Analysis believes that Nintendo Switch 2 buyers will spend over $2 billion on games for the platform in 2025. In the next couple of years, this figure will grow to $7–8 billion. Most of this spending will go to Nintendo’s games.
