The Nintendo Switch sold 5.82 million units in the first month of February, and the sales of "Mario Kart: World" reached 5.63 million copies.This means that the console binding rate of this first-time game is as high as about 97%.

The above data comes from Nintendo's latest financial report as of June 30.According to the financial report, Switch 2's software sales reached 8.67 million copies during the same period, of which "Mario Kart: World" accounted for 65% of the total sales of new console software.

Nintendo also mentioned that within the seven weeks after the console was released, the global sales of Switch 2 had exceeded 6 million units.Despite this, the company still pointed out that there is a "supply shortage" situation in many countries and regions.

Obviously, the bundled package of consoles and this racing game is very popular among consumers.Mario Kart: World is the main starting game of Switch 2, and it also offers separate purchase options.

Shortly after the release of the Switch 2, Nintendo announced that it became the fastest-selling hardware device in the company's history - global sales reached 3.5 million units in the first four days.Last week, it was reported that the Switch 2 has become the fastest-selling gaming hardware in U.S. history, surpassing the PlayStation 4.

At the same time, the global cumulative sales of the first-generation Switch have reached 153.1 million units.

Nintendo expects Switch series console sales to reach 4.5 million units this year, which will make it surpass the Nintendo DS and become the highest-selling hardware device in the company's history - the gap between the two is less than 1 million units.However, it still has a gap with the PlayStation 2, the world's highest-selling console, which has estimated sales of 160 million units.

Thanks to the release of the Switch 2, Nintendo's overall net sales increased by 132.1% year-on-year, and gross profit increased by 21.4% to 185.1 billion yen.However, since the profit margin of Switch 2 is lower than that of previous generation hosts, the company's overall gross profit margin has declined.

Digital game sales fell 13.5% year-on-year, but still accounted for 59.3% of total software sales.Nintendo attributes it to "reduced sales of digital versions of boxed games."

Nintendo has not adjusted its financial expectations for the rest of the fiscal year and plans to sell 15 million Switch 2 units worldwide.The company said the target was not affected by U.S. tariff measures, consistent with President Shuntaro Furukawa's statement in May.

As Nintendo's core first-party game, "Pokemon Legend: Z-A" will be available on the Switch series console on October 16; "Metropolis Prime 4: Beyond" is still scheduled to be released in 2025, and the specific date has not been announced yet.
