While paid patches and $80 games has caused quite a stir amongst gamers, Nintendo still expects a record-breaking launch for the Switch 2. Nintendo has reaffirmed its forecast for the launch next month, with the Switch 2 expected to sell through 15 million units.
For the current fiscal year, ending in March 2026, Nintendo expects to sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles, and it also expects to garner 45 million game sales for the new platform.
This would put the Nintendo Switch 2 ahead of its predecessor, as the original Switch console sold around 14 million units in its first year. Nintendo expects the Switch 2 to sell more and at a faster rate.
Those numbers aren't too crazy either, as Nintendo still sold close to 11 million Switch 1 consoles last year. Nintendo expects that number to drop to less than 5 million once the Switch 2 hits the market in June.
