Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Slow During Holidays Amid Economic Challenges
TL;DR Summary
Switch 2 sales are slowing down after a strong launch, partly due to the continued popularity of the original Switch and a lack of major exclusive titles to drive holiday sales. Nintendo's upcoming software lineup for 2026 currently features sequels and re-releases, with potential for new system-selling exclusives to boost sales. The company may need a hit similar to Super Mario Odyssey to regain momentum.
