Overview

  • Nintendo launched the Switch2 on June 5 at $449.99 in the US and £395.99 in the UK with an optional Mario Kart World bundle priced $499.99.
  • The new hybrid console sold out within hours on Nintendo’s site, spurring retailers like Amazon, Best Buy and Currys to scramble restock and fulfill backlogged orders.
  • Upgrades include a 7.9-inch LCD display, custom Nvidia processor, magnetic Joy-Con attachments, 4K docked output and a 'C' button for GameChat.
  • Despite US tariff-related pre-order delays and canceled orders, Nintendo maintains a steady manufacturing pace to address persistent stock shortages.
  • Nintendo projects sales of 15 million Switch2 units through March 2026 and expects fresh shipments to satisfy demand through the summer and holiday period.
