Switch 2 Third-Party Sales Soar as Super Mario Galaxy Movie Boosts Momentum

The Nintendo Switch 2 is showing the doubters they were wrong. Early stories from last year said that third-party games for the new system were struggling to sell. But new information shows a very different picture. From the second quarter to the fourth quarter of 2025, third-party sales on all Nintendo systems, including the original Switch and the Switch 2, rose to $2.3 billion. How much more is that than last year? 76% more.
