RUMOR: Switch 2 Expected to Surpass 10 Million Units in Debut Year

RUMOR: Switch 2 Expected to Surpass 10 Million Units in Debut Year

Recent supply chain and display shipment data have led to projections that Nintendo could produce more than ten million units of the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 in its initial fiscal year.

This insight was shared by Bloomberg reporter Takashi Mochizuki, who based his report on comprehensive supply chain analysis.

Analyst Weighs-in on Potential Switch 2 Production Data

Recently, Mochizuki's findings pointed to an 8-inch LCD screen for the Switch 2; however, new data has surfaced surrounding production data. Here's what he has to say:

Nintendo Looks to Mitigate Supply Chain Issues

This production capacity is particularly noteworthy when contrasted with the launch periods of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. Both Sony and Microsoft faced significant supply chain challenges in meeting consumer demand, resulting in shortages and difficulties in obtaining these consoles without pre-orders. The demand often exceeded the supply, making it a challenge for many fans to get their hands on these consoles during their initial launch phase.

Lack of OLED Screen

An even more notable finding from Mochizuki's X post is his source noting the following:

And about OLED version, Omdia says not "for this year". - Takashi Mochizuki, X

We've continued to see this mentioned across several sources, pointing to less of a likelihood for the Switch 2 to have an OLED screen on launch. While disappointing, the increased, 8-inch screen size may be a potential offset.

Awaiting Confirmation: Nintendo's Next-Gen Console Plans

As of now, Nintendo has not officially announced a successor to the highly successful Nintendo Switch console. However, the prospect of such a high production volume for the rumored Nintendo Switch 2 is an intriguing development, indicating that Nintendo might be aiming to avoid the supply issues that plagued its competitors' launches.

This strategy could position the Nintendo Switch 2 favorably in the market, ensuring better availability for consumers eager to experience Nintendo's next-gen console.
