"There are a lot of developers that are unable to get Switch 2 dev kits. We talked to a lot of devs at Gamescom this year and so many of them said the same things: They want to ship on Switch 2. They would love to do Switch 2 versions [of their games]. They can't get the hardware. It's really difficult."
"The Switch 2 launched just a few months ago and was immediately a smash hit, selling more than 3.5 million devices within four days of launch. Since then, Nintendo's sold nearly twice that much, sitting at roughly around six million machines. Those are great numbers for Nintendo, which is why it's strange that a recent report indicates that the console manufacturer is seemingly hesitant to get dev kits for its hybrid console into the hands of devs."
Switch 2 achieved rapid sales, moving over 3.5 million units in four days and roughly six million overall. Nintendo is reportedly restricting access to Switch 2 developer kits and encouraging studios to release on Switch 1 while relying on backward compatibility. Many developers expressed frustration at events like Gamescom after being unable to obtain Switch 2 hardware despite wanting native versions. Distribution of dev kits appears inconsistent, with some smaller studios receiving machines and larger developers left without. The console's increased power has not yet translated into widespread native Switch 2 releases, limiting platform optimization.
