Fortnite Got A Lot Messier This Year

Fortnite Got A Lot Messier This Year https://ift.tt/OnyYgkS Epic has spent the past few years trying as hard as it can to will the Fortnite metaverse into being--and now, at the end of 2025, it's actually starting to look like it's getting there. Things are still very messy, but Epic's moves in that direction--which frequently seem to involve trying random things just to see what happens--may have finally borne fruit. Back at the end of 2023, Fortnite attempted to usher in its metaverse in earnest by launching Fortnite Festival, Rocket Racing, and Lego Fortnite all at once. It didn't quite work, because all three were half-baked and missing key features. The only way to play Racing was in Ranked, Festival lacked instrument support and still doesn't have a practice mode, and Lego Fortnite had the feel of a generic early-access survival game wearing Lego clothing.

Nintendo Switch 2 Continues To Be A Massive Hit, Selling Over 10 Million Units In Four Months

Nintendo Switch 2 Continues To Be A Massive Hit, Selling Over 10 Million Units In Four Months https://ift.tt/TulRPz3

Nintendo has confirmed that in the last two quarters, it has sold a staggering number of Switch 2 consoles. As part of its latest financial results, the company reported 10.36 million Switch 2 units sold as of September 30, in the two quarters since it went on sale. In the last three months alone, Nintendo sold 4.54 million Switch 2 consoles.

To put that into context, that's more than double what the original Switch console sold within the same two-month time period (4.7 million units sold), and even more than what Sony managed with the PS4 (7.5 million units sold) and PS5 (7.8 million units sold) during its first two quarters. With the Switch 2 selling well, Nintendo has now increased its hardware forecast for the business year, as it predicts that it'll sell 19 million Switch 2 consoles, up from its original estimate of 15 million. If Nintendo reaches this number, that'll put Switch 2 sales far ahead of the original Switch, PS4, and PS5 consoles during their launch years.

As for its predecessor, the Switch has now reached 154.01 million units sold since 2017. This puts the Switch within spitting distance of the Nintendo DS, which sold 154.02 million units. Nintendo noted a 60% decline in Switch sales when compared to the same period in its previous fiscal year, but it is predicting that the console will dethrone the Nintendo DS by the end of its financial year and will cement itself as the company's best-selling console of all time.
