Nintendo’s first new console in eight years, the Nintendo Switch 2, has found breakout success, selling 3.5 million units in just four days. Sales are fueling optimism that Korea’s semiconductor industry will benefit from the new device's popularity.

Hideaki Nishino’s comments regarding PlayStation’s “differentiated strategy” arrived a week after Nintendo released the Switch 2. On Wednesday, Nintendo announced that its new system had shattered console launch day records, selling over 3.5 million units globally and becoming the fastest-selling system ever in Nintendo.

The Nintendo Switch 2’s price will bring sticker shock to fans. With a starting price of $449, it’s one of the most expensive machines that the company has put up for sale. The barebones system won’t come with any games, and it will have minimal accessories included with the box.
