    Nintendo reveals how many Switch 2 consoles were sold in the first four days – as stock remains low on UK shelves

    .

    Nintendo has revealed how many Switch 2 consoles have been sold in the first four days since launch.

    More than 3.5 million devices have flown off the shelves worldwide since 5 June – making it the most successful debut in the company’s history.

    The Switch 2 features a larger, more responsive screen than its predecessor and new magnetic controllers, with more powerful processing and graphics performance.

    The new system has a GameChat feature, which enables players to voice or video chat as well as share their game screen with friends online while playing a game.

    Many bundles of the Switch 2 also come with the long-awaited Mario Kart World game.

    But they remain hard to find in the UK, with most retailers selling out within minutes of going live.

    Stock Informer, a website that lists availability across retailers, shows that the Switch 2 is sold out across most high street brands, with restocks expected to happen later this week.

    While some consoles appear to be available on online marketplaces such as eBay, gaming fans have been warned to be aware of scams.

    People are urged to check profiles for negative feedback and selling history, as well as whether the online marketplace offers buyer protection.

    Nintendo has also warned customers not to fall for phishing emails after scammers took advantage of millions of fans entering the Nintendo Japan lottery for a chance to buy a Switch 2 by sending out emails asking for personal data.
