Rumor: Nintendo Switch 2 launch sales in France revealed, country’s fastest-selling system ever

We’re just a few days removed from Nintendo Switch 2’s launch, but we apparently already have sales data from France – and the report is impressive.

In its first week, it’s claimed that Nintendo’s new console sold over 200,000 units in the country. It’s the region’s fastest-selling gaming system, beating out the PlayStation 5 which previously held the record at 107,000 units.

Nintendo Switch 2 generated €130 million in four days. That includes the system, games, and accessories.

Perhaps expectedly, Mario Kart World is proving to be a massive success in its own right. 70 percent of Nintendo Switch 2 sales were for the bundle. Only 3 to 5 percent of Nintendo Switch 2 buyers didn’t purchase Mario Kart World, meaning the title has an attach rate of no less than 95 percent.

We have not received any official communication from Nintendo, which is why we’re marking this as a rumor currently. However, GyoJvfr and pierre485_ shared the sales data on social media – so French PR may have been sent out earlier in the day.

Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World are both out now. You can find our early thoughts on the system here and our review of the new racer here.
