The VGChartz sales comparison series of articles are updated monthly and each one focuses on a different sales comparison using our estimated video game hardware figures. The charts include comparisons between the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, as well as with older platforms. There are articles based on our worldwide estimates, as well as the US, Europe, and Japan.
This monthly series compares the aligned worldwide sales of the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch 1.
The Nintendo Switch 2 launched in June 2025 and the Nintendo Switch launched in March 2017. This does mean the holiday periods for the two consoles do not lineup.

Gap change in latest month: 844,774 – Switch 2
Total Lead: 3,953,786 – Switch 2
Switch 2 Total Sales: 7,038,467
Switch 1 Total Sales: 3,084,681
July 2025 is the 2nd month the Nintendo Switch 2 has been available for. During the latest month, the Switch 2 has outsold the Switch 1 by 0.88 million units when you align the launches. The Switch 2 is now ahead of the Switch 1 by 3.95 million units.
The 2nd month for the Switch 2 is July 2025, while for the Switch 1 it is April 2017. The Switch 2 has sold 7.04 million units, while the Switch 1 sold 3.08 million units during the same timeframe.
