The much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 has set a new benchmark in gaming following its June 5 launch.
The console sold over 3.5 million units globally in just four days, securing the title of the fastest-selling Nintendo game system ever. Featuring a larger screen, improved graphics, and redesigned controllers, the Switch 2 enhances the gaming experience for users.
Pre-sales for the Switch 2 were originally set for April 9. However, Nintendo postponed sales after President Donald Trump announced a new tariff plan.
Among its notable new features is a chat function that enables voice and video communication between friends, along with the ability to share gaming screens.
