A Successor to a Record-Breaking Console
The original Nintendo Switch sold over 150 million units, making it one of the best-selling consoles of all time. With its hybrid design and a strong game lineup, the Nintendo Switch 2 aims to follow in its footsteps.
However, there are concerns about potential hardware shortages, similar to what happened with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X at launch. Nintendo has assured investors that they have been preparing for high demand, but factors like global trade tariffs could still impact production and pricing.
