In June, the Japan-based videogame publisher announced the Nintendo Switch 2 sold more than 3.5 million units worldwide in the first four days, making the system the fast-selling Nintendo console ever at launch. The Switch 2 was released on June 5. Nintendo’s American depositary receipts were up 0.9% on Tuesday. The stock is up 48% this year.

Nintendo’s financial year is off to a bumper start thanks to explosive sales of its Switch 2 console. Following its launch in June, the Switch 2 console has now sold 5.82 million units according to Nintendo’s Q1 earnings report, more than double the 2.7 million unit sales achieved by the original Switch in its first month.

I spent three weeks testing the Nintendo Switch 2, considering design, performance and more. It's a solid successor—but with some caveats.
