Switch 2 shipment to exceed 10 million next year

Jan 29, 2024 9:45 AM

Upcoming fiscal year forecasts suggest that Nintendo is set to ship over ten million units of the anticipated successor to their current console, the Nintendo Switch 2. According to reports based on the production data of LCD screens, the launch of the new console could see more availability than its competitors, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, had during their respective releases. The new Nintendo Switch 2 is rumored to feature an 8-inch LCD screen and is expected to hit the market later this year. Despite the speculation, official details from Nintendo have yet to be confirmed. Gamers have been eagerly discussing the potential fall season release and what improvements and features the new console might include.

What new features can we expect with the Nintendo Switch 2?

While official information is yet to be released, rumors suggest that the Nintendo Switch 2 may come with an 8-inch LCD screen and potentially offer better hardware capabilities, enhanced graphics, and improved battery life. The more significant shipping volume also hints at broader availability, potentially addressing supply issues that plagued previous console releases.

As background information, the original Nintendo Switch revolutionized gaming by offering both a portable handheld experience and a traditional home console system in one device. Launched in March 2017, it has since seen a variety of iterations, like the Nintendo Switch Lite dedicated to handheld play and the Nintendo Switch OLED with an upgraded display. The Switch has become known for its unique hybrid design, allowing users to "switch" between TV mode and handheld mode, and it has an impressive library of games, including popular exclusives like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "Animal Crossing: New Horizons". The gaming community is looking forward to seeing how Nintendo will evolve this concept with the release of the Switch 2.
