The Results Of Our 2026 Switch 2 Summer Survey Are In
Nintendo Life has released the results of its 2026 reader survey regarding the Switch 2 console. The data reveals that 91% of respondents have upgraded to the new hardware, with many users maintaining a significant backlog of unplayed games.
Why it matters
The survey provides consumer sentiment and usage trends for a major gaming platform, reflecting the current state of the console market.
Back in August, we posed 64 gaming-related questions to Nintendo Life readers in our Switch 2 Summer Survey . Topics included gaming habits, thoughts on Switch 2 and its software lineup, how you buy games in 2026, and other questions covering how you get your daily dose of Nintendo goodness on this here website and beyond.
We did the same in 2024 to get a better idea of the state of all things Nintendo, but having now spent well over a year with Nintendo's newest hardware, we wanted to get your thoughts on Switch 2 and your hopes for the future.
The survey is now closed, so as we move into autumn (or 'fall' as you call it across the pond, or 'spring' as you call it south of the equator), it's time to crunch those numbers and dip into the results.
