Overview

  • The Nintendo Switch 2 will launch globally on June 5, 2025, with a U.S. price of $449.99, marking one of the most anticipated gaming hardware releases in years.
  • DFC Intelligence forecasts sales of 16 million units in 2025, with potential to reach 20 million if supply meets demand, and over 100 million units by the end of 2029.
  • The console is expected to become the fastest-selling gaming system ever, driven by strong third-party publisher support and its hybrid design targeting a broad audience.
  • The delay of Grand Theft Auto VI to May 2026 has positioned the Switch 2 as the primary growth driver for the gaming industry in 2025, with global console sales projected to rise by 3%.
  • Nintendo maintains a conservative internal sales target of 15 million units by March 2026, reflecting its cautious inventory management approach despite high demand expectations.
