According to Bloomberg, analysts expect Nintendo to have 6 million to 8 million consoles on hand when it launches its Switch 2 on June 5, making it one of the largest starters in the history of the gaming industry.

In comparison, Sony PS4 and PS5 are tied for the best performance in the first two months, with sales of 4.5 million units.The first-generation Nintendo Switch was first released in March 2017 and sold 2.74 million units.Digitimes reported that the monthly sales of PS5 were 3.4 million units in its first launch, setting a record for the highest sales in the first month of PlayStation consoles.

Entering 2025, everyone believes that the release of the Switch 2 will be one of the biggest events of the year.The demand for the Switch 2 exceeded Nintendo's expectations.In Japan alone, Nintendo received 2.2 million consumer applications, competing to buy the Switch 2 console.Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa had to officially apologize to players through X, saying that because the demand exceeded expectations, "a large number of applicants will not be selected."

Bloomberg's report also pointed out that Nintendo is doing its best to increase console production and strive to meet market demand as much as possible by June 5.

The pre-order service for Nintendo Switch 2 was only launched in the United States and Canada today, after being delayed due to tariffs announced by the United States.Consumers looking to lock in pre-orders say the websites of retailers such as Best Buy and Walmart collapsed due to excessive traffic.Overall, the downtime is not too bad, as there are still many players excitedly announcing that they have successfully pre-ordered.

While the pricing of the Switch 2 and its games are still controversial for players, consumers who can pre-order or purchase on the first day are likely to be more cost-effective than those who choose to wait.The shadow of tariffs has always been overshadowed by console pricing, and we have seen its impact on the Switch 2, as Nintendo has raised the price of several Switch 2 accessories for tariffs.
