Upon the unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2, there was an immediate buzz on the internet about its cost. The cost of the console itself and particularly the cost of its software have sparked debates online. Nevertheless, it’s anticipated that this new Nintendo console will break records as the largest console launch ever made.
Due to the console’s popularity surpassing Nintendo’s initial predictions in certain areas and global demand leading to the depletion of accessory items like MicroSD cards, it’s anticipated that this console could break records as the largest console launch in gaming history.
Nintendo Switch 2 is set to be the biggest console launch ever
According to Bloomberg’s report, Pelham Smithers Associates forecasts that approximately 6.6 million Nintendo Switch 2 handhelds will be pre-ordered worldwide during its debut phase. This is significantly more than the 4.5 million PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles sold in their initial two months on the market.
Pelham Smithers stated that since Japan represents approximately a third of the worldwide Switch installation base, this suggests there could potentially be around 6.6 million pre-orders worldwide.
Despite uncertainties surrounding the U.S. tariff situation potentially affecting the debut of Nintendo Switch 2, it seems poised for a more successful launch compared to the PS5. The PS5’s launch was hindered by high demand, complications due to COVID-19, a worldwide chip shortage, and rampant scalping issues.
It appears that most of the demand for the Nintendo console arises naturally, as they have implemented strategies to combat reselling at high prices. Even though there has been some online grumbling about the new console, it’s not unusual to see the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 outshine that of the PlayStation 5.
