US online game {hardware} and software program gross sales tracker Circana has mentioned that the Nintendo Change 2 is now the fastest-selling online game console in historical past. The console was the best-selling online game {hardware} in June 2025 with the PlayStation 5 pushed to second and Xbox Collection X|S to 3rd. Mario Kart World was the third best-selling online game for the month of June with Elden Ring Nightreign at No.1 within the software program charts.
“What the launch gross sales of Change 2 primarily inform us is that they made plenty of Change 2 to promote at launch. Lifetime gross sales and launch gross sales of a console usually don’t correlate, which means that some consoles with small launches ended up doing extremely properly lifetime (PS2 solely offered 400k in its launch month) whereas others with large launches ended up not doing as properly lifetime. Since launch month demand isn’t satiated by accessible provide (and it’s definitely not an incredible signal when it’s, traditionally) all we are able to actually get a learn on at launch is the arrogance of the producer to make so many models accessible, and the power of the provision chain to get these models into the market. However having the most important launch month gross sales for any new online game {hardware} platform is a helluva good begin.”
