Game industry analysts predict that Nintendo’s new console, the Switch 2, will have its biggest console launch ever, despite a price tag of at least $399. The expected launch date is June, with around 6-8 million consoles available at launch.
Analysts say the high price and strong software lineup will drive sales. Robin Zhu of Sanford C. Bernstein expects Nintendo to sell “boatloads” of Switch 2 units in the first months, regardless of the price. Serkan Toto agrees that solid day-one third-party support will contribute to its success.
The analysts’ predictions come with a warning: some think the console could cost up to $499, driven by component costs and U.S. tariffs. Nintendo is expected to announce more details during its Switch 2 Direct livestream on April 2.
