Upon launching the Switch 2 in New York City, Nintendo is confident it can avoid the supply issues faced by the PlayStation 5. While early adopters can secure the new console, retailers like Best Buy and Walmart are experiencing regular out-of-stock notices. Nintendo President Doug Bowser reassured consumers about upcoming inventory throughout 2025 and discussed the console's $450 price tag, emphasizing its upgraded features. He acknowledged ongoing challenges like tariffs but remained optimistic about meeting demand while keeping prices reasonable.
Even if the Switch 2 becomes hard to find it won't be impossible to get. We have a steady supply of manufacturing that'll be coming in and we believe we'll be able to meet that demand all the way through the summer.

The new hardware was built from the ground-up with new features and better specs, pushing back against the implication that it's an overpriced upgrade.
