Nintendo anticipates 15 million Switch 2 sales between June and March

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.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
