Famitsu sales (8/3/26 – 8/16/26) – Nintendo Switch 2 in the lead

Nintendo Switch 2 dominated Japanese hardware sales during the August 3-16 period, according to Famitsu's latest tracking data. The new console shipped over 65,000 units in that two-week window, substantially outpacing the competition. The PS5 Digital Edition came in second with roughly 19,300 units, while older Switch models - the Lite and OLED versions - managed considerably lower numbers at 9,084 and 4,590 respectively.

The data underscores Switch 2's strong market debut in Japan, Nintendo's home territory. Existing PlayStation hardware, including the PS5 Pro, attracted minimal interest during this period, reflecting the typical sales momentum following a major console launch.

• Switch 2 captured nearly 65,600 units in two weeks, more than three times the PS5 Digital Edition's sales.
• Older Switch models continued selling but at substantially reduced volumes as players shifted to the new hardware.
• PS5 Pro and base PS5 showed negligible sales figures during the measured period.
