Nintendo Switch 2 poised to exceed sales forecasts in 'biggest console launch of all time'

Finally, Nintendo's highly anticipated Switch 2 gaming console is poised to exceed initial sales forecasts as it prepares for its global release on June 5.

The company projects sales of 15 million units by March 2026, but analysts suggest the number will exceed that.

Pre-orders have sold out rapidly worldwide, with Japan alone receiving over 2.2 million applications.

Despite the 449.99 U.S. dollar price point, consumers are enthusiastic about the Switch 2's enhanced features, including a larger LCD screen and improved processing power.
