• Nintendo forecasts matching the original Switch’s first-year pace with 15 million Switch2 sales by March 2026.
• Preorders in Japan topped 2.2 million, triggering temporary order cancellations in markets such as the United Kingdom due to limited stock.
• Upgrades include a larger screen, eight times more memory, an integrated microphone, detachable controllers and new online chat and share-play features.
• The console is priced at $449.99 in the US and €469.99 in Europe, with higher game prices offset by Nintendo’s defended bundled offers.
