Nintendo Switch 2 has got off to a strong start in the UK, selling 1m units in one year – 30 weeks faster than its predecessor.

It's the sixth fastest-selling home console in UK history, behind Wii and every PlayStation console except the PS1.

Nintendo's position in the UK is weaker than other markets. Globally, Switch 1 is the second best-selling console of all time, but in the UK it currently trails PS2, Xbox 360, Wii and PS4 in terms of lifetime sales.

The average price of Switch 2 during its first 1m sales is £428, considerably expensive than every console ahead of it except for the PlayStation 5, which had the average selling price of £442.

Call of Duty ‘at risk’ from GTA 6, EA set for World Cup boost, and Switch 2 hits UK milestone

Plus, we preview Summer Game Fest with Iam8bit and ICHI Worldwide

Being behind the PS2, 360, Wii and PS4 is nothing to be ashamed of. Every one of those consoles hit the UK like a lightning bolt, the buzz was insane on all of them.

Wow they love PlayStation in the UK if PS3 did it faster than Switch 2.

at this time and situation, i think it's still fine.
but again, the price changes could sound danger alarm in the future
game is went pricier and money is went down fast nowadays

It's basically the only console that is still sold at a somewhat acceptable mass market price. This won't change for years to come.

You mean "considerably more expensive"?

The surprise here is that the PS5 LTD sales are still over the Xbox One LTD sales…
