Nintendo Switch 2 Unlikely To Hit Markets Before 2025, Scalpers To Blame: Report

ABP News  

The highly anticipated successor to Nintendo's phenomenally successful Switch console appears to be on track for a release no earlier than 2025, as indicated by a recent report from Nikkei. This deliberate timeline is attributed to Nintendo's strategic focus on robust manufacturing capabilities to meet the expected demand and preempt any supply challenges that marred the initial Switch launch in 2017, leading to a surge in scalping activities. While this projected timeline might mean that the Switch 2 could miss Nintendo's upcoming fiscal year, potentially causing disappointment among ardent fans eagerly awaiting an upgrade, the company seems committed to prioritising precision over expediency in bringing a new product to the market. Sky-High Expectations With Nintendo Switch 2 Nintendo recently revised its hardware sales projection for the current fiscal year upward to an impressive 15.5 million units.
