A few months ago, Nintendo officially discovered Nintendo Switch 2, but there is still not much of the information that came directly from Nintenda themselves. Thus, the leaks and opinions of analysts fill the gaps as long as Nintendo's Big Switch 2 Direct 2. April. Some analysts at Bloomberg, for example, offered their insight into it. What makes them unique is that they regularly communicate with Nintendom and their partners.
According to analysts, they expect that the Switch 2 will be more expensive than its predecessor, with the potential being $ 400 or more. In fact, analyst Toyo Securities Hideki Yasuda said that “I would not be surprised if Nintendo continued with $ 499,” although it depends on factors such as US tariffs and his trade war with various countries, as well as hardware costs. Still, analysts are divided in this regard.
Still, it's not all for Nintendo. Analysts also expect the Switch 2 to publish relatively soon, in June. As for the Games, the industry observer based in Tokyo Toto is expecting a “great software line in the first year, from New Mario Kart and 3D Mario after eight years to Pokémon Legends: for and Metroid Prime. So there should be a lot of games on the way.
Analysts also agree that despite the high price, the console will continue to start a great start. Macquarie Capital analyst Hiroshoshi Yamashina expects, for example, selling 20,000,000 units during its first year availability. Meanwhile, Robin Zhu from Sanford C. Bernstein expects Nintendo to have a 6,000,000-8,000,000 Switch 2 units available on launch. If so, that would be the biggest launch of the console ever.
