"Nintendo has asked suppliers to build 25 million Switch 2 console by the end of March 2026, reported. According to people familiar with the matter, the company has requested the boost because it believes the console will continue its torrid sales pace through the holiday season. Nintendo could easily exceed its own forecast of 15 million Switch 2 units sold within its first fiscal year (ending March 30, 2026)"
"Despite fears over tariffs, Switch 2 sales in the US are way ahead of the original Switch at the same time frame, according to market researcher Circana. During its last earnings report, the company said it had also sold 8.67 million Switch 2 games along with 24.4 million games designed for the original Switch, thanks in part to the new console's backward compatibility."
Nintendo requested suppliers build 25 million Switch 2 units by the end of March 2026 to meet expected holiday demand and provide inventory for the next fiscal year. The company forecasted 15 million Switch 2 sales in its first fiscal year but projects the console could sell around 20 million this fiscal year. The original Switch sold 17.79 million units in its first 13 months, so the Switch 2 could surpass that more quickly. US Switch 2 sales are ahead of the original at the same point in time. Switch 2 has sold 8.67 million games while 24.4 million original Switch games continue selling due to backward compatibility. Pokemon Legends: Z-A is launching later this month, which should further boost game sales.
