According to Tech4Gamers , the seemingly unbreakable sales records of the PlayStation 2 and Game Boy Advance legends in Japan have finally been "dethroned". And the "usurper" is none other than Switch 2, Nintendo's latest gaming console, with an explosive launch that has never been seen before in the history of the gaming industry.

Nintendo Switch 2 sells over 1.5 million units in Japan in its first month
The Japanese gaming market has just witnessed a historic change of throne. According to official figures from the prestigious gaming magazine Famitsu , Nintendo Switch 2 sold 1,538,260 units in just the first month of its launch. This incredible number has officially pushed two "monuments" of the past back into the background:
- Game Boy Advance: 1,367,433 units (first month)
- PlayStation 2: 1,134,862 units (first month)
This spectacular "dethronement" has made Nintendo Switch 2 the most successful game console launch of all time in Japan, setting a new record that will be very difficult for future competitors to surpass.
The Nintendo Switch 2 storm is not only sweeping the homeland. Its heat has spread globally with 3.5 million units sold in just the first 4 days. In another major market, the US, this number also reached 1.1 million units in the first week on shelves.
This success is a strong affirmation of Nintendo's strategy. After the failure of the Wii U, the company regained its glory with the hybrid model of the Nintendo Switch. Now, Switch 2 not only inherits but also enhances that success, consolidating Nintendo's "hegemony" position in the field of portable game consoles, where even Sony failed with the PS Vita.
The new console generation war has only just begun, but the Nintendo Switch 2 has already made an impressive debut, rewriting history and sending a powerful message to the entire gaming industry.
