The Nintendo Switch is over six years old at this point, but fans just can’t seem to get enough of it. A recent Bloomberg report has revealed a sudden spike in console sales in the region of Japan following the launch of a Super Mario-themed Nintendo Switch.

According to the report, last week’s sales in the region totaled up to 110,241 units which is twice of the previous week’s sale. It’s a rather interesting revelation, but not surprising since similar sales surges were seen during Tears of the Kingdom’s launch as well as Splatoon 3‘s launch earlier this year.

As for what’s in store for the successor to Switch, there’s no shortage of rumours swirling around in the market. One such rumour has suggested that the Switch 2 (or whatever it ends up being called) will launch with 2 different SKUs and that the console is set to launch on 24th September next year – read more on that through here.
