Even though *Mario Kart World* has been out for less than six months, it has already proven to be another big winner for Nintendo. The latest entry in the series has sold an impressive 9.57 million units since its launch alongside the Nintendo Switch 2.
This information comes from Nintendo’s most recent six-month earnings report, issued late Monday evening. According to the report, “For Nintendo Switch 2 software, *Mario Kart World*, released at the same time as the hardware, and *Donkey Kong Bananza*, released in July, showed strong sales.”
The financial report further states that, combined with titles released by other software publishers, unit sales for Nintendo Switch 2 software in the first half of the fiscal year reached 20.62 million. It’s important to note that this figure includes approximately 8.10 million units of Nintendo Switch 2 software bundled with the hardware.
Regarding hardware sales, Nintendo has sold 10.36 million Nintendo Switch 2 units to date. Out of these, 9.57 million come with some form of the Switch 2-exclusive *Mario Kart World*.
While *Mario Kart World* still has a long way to go to catch up with the lifetime sales of *Mario Kart 8 Deluxe* — which has sold over 68 million units — it’s off to a very promising start. In fact, the previous *Mario Kart* title has continued to perform well, selling another 1.37 million units recently and bringing its lifetime total to more than 69 million units.
