Nintendo's New Console Sets Unprecedented Sales Records in Spain and Beyond

This article examines the record-breaking debut of the latest Nintendo console and explores its impressive sales figures and market impact. It provides a detailed look at how the new hardware has outperformed previous releases and highlights notable trends in both console and game sales.

Nintendo’s new hybrid console has achieved a historic milestone in Spain, becoming the fastest-selling gaming system ever recorded in the country according to an exclusive report by a leading local source. With an initial release of 108,000 units, the performance more than doubles the 48,000 consoles sold at the debut of a rival system in 2020 and exactly doubles the 54,000 units associated with a former record-holder.

Analysis of past console launches in Spain further emphasizes this achievement. The original version of the system reached around 45,000 units, while another well-known system managed only about 15,000 units, illustrating the elevated expectations surrounding the current release.

• The latest racing title quickly became the top seller of the year, moving nearly 95,000 units; almost 90,000 were part of bundled console packages.
• A popular futuristic game ranked second in sales, though its physical format registered only approximately 5,000 copies, suggesting a strong preference for the bundled automotive title among early buyers.

Further data reveals that around 12,000 high-end controllers were sold alongside the system, a figure that notably exceeds the 7,000 official carrying cases purchased by consumers. This suggests a robust demand for premium peripherals in tandem with the console.

The success in Spain is mirrored on a global scale, as recent announcements confirm that the new console surpassed 3.5 million units sold at launch. This milestone solidifies its status as Nintendo’s fastest-selling hardware to date.
