While the Nintendo is diversifying into theme parks and hit movies, around 90 percent of its revenue still comes from the Switch business, analysts say

Overview

  • The console’s base model carries a $449.99 price tag and a Mario Kart World bundle will retail for $499.99 at launch.
  • Initial Switch 2 pre-orders sold out within hours in April, prompting Amazon to reopen limited allocations for delivery by June 7.
  • UK retailer Game and US chains including Walmart have canceled some pre-orders due to payment errors and are working to reinstate affected orders.
  • Target will distribute limited purchase tickets to in-store customers on launch day and enforce a one-unit-per-guest limit to manage high demand.
  • Best Buy has contacted pre-order customers to confirm payment information and prevent last-minute cancellations as retailers finalize launch logistics.
