Even if Nintendo Not a single word was said, the feeling that the new Switch 2 It’s closer than it seems and we’ll have it among us no later than March 2025. So everyone is saving up to want to get one on day one, but will there be limited units and will speculation return like with the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S?
Know what it looks like Nintendo, This gives us the feeling that the Japanese are trying to control all possible variables to avoid something similar to what happened between November 2020 and March 2023 with the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, when it was impossible to buy them in stores and the only way was either through waiting lists or by paying a sometimes abusive surcharge.
Farewell to profiteers on Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo therefore has the challenge of putting an end to these speculations and, obviously, it is already taking steps in this regard. The most important thing is that the Japanese machine will not need cutting-edge components and that is why they have made sure to have enough supply to guarantee in the first days of sale a number of units more than enough to prevent anyone from considering taking advantage of it. abundance.
Speculation occurs when there are limitations to accessing a product and Nintendo is looking for precisely the opposite. This is according to a company executive, who openly states that “at this time, we do not believe that the shortage of components will have a significant impact on the production of the successor model”, so there will be enough consoles on day one. .for everyone who wants to get their hands on one.
It is also true that Nintendo This evolves with the forecasts and they don’t need to be exact, but it is true that in the end these types of launches are very measured and tend to recur over the years. Basically, because the user base Early Adopters This has nothing to do with the potential that in March 2025 you will still be as happy with your Nintendo Switch and without needing to update.
A new version eight years later
The first one Nintendo Switch It arrived in stores in March 2017, so in the same month of 2025 it will have completed eight uninterrupted years of absolute success that have led it to be the best-selling machine during that period and the one that also sells the most cartridges. . Furthermore, even the announcement of the arrival of a second generation has not reduced its sales, so it does not seem that there is really a need for a hardware change beyond that demanded by the market cycle itself.
Anyway, it feels like Nintendo Switch It will continue to be very much alive and its next generation will allow us to take advantage of everything we have already bought for it and enjoy it with the new hardware. Enough to make the future machine an almost instant success. Right?
