Analyst predicts Switch 2 sales will be strong, but not as strong as the original Switch's launch year.
While the Nintendo Switch 2 is predicted to sell millions in the US alone, its first year performance might not be as strong as its predecessor's. Despite high anticipation, an analyst predicts it won't surpass the original Switch's launch sales. Rumours suggest a spring launch, possibly in April, with accessories manufacturer Genki displaying a replica at CES 2025 and indicating accessories will launch that month. Analyst Matt Piscatella predicts 4.
3 million units sold in the US by the end of 2025, assuming a first-half release. This would be approximately a third of all video game console hardware sold in the US this year. The original Switch sold 4.8 million units by January 2018, highlighting the potential challenge for the Switch 2. Hardware constraints are expected in the first few months due to high demand. Piscatella also predicts the PlayStation 5 will outsell the Switch 2 in the US during 2025. The Switch 2's success also hinges on its game lineup. While nothing is officially announced, speculation suggests cross-gen titles like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Nintendo's continued support for the current Switch, with games planned for 2023 and beyond, means both consoles will co-exist for a while
