Nintendo may not have enough Switch 2 units for the console's launch

Nintendo has begun accepting pre-orders for its highly anticipated Switch 2 console, a milestone that marks the start of its launch in various markets, including the United States. However, the high demand has led the company to warn that not all users will receive their console on launch day, scheduled for June 5. Through its official website, Nintendo has communicated that the delivery of purchased consoles is not guaranteed for that date, and that some buyers may receive their order invitation after the launch.

A console that has had terrible timing with Donald Trump

The launch of the console has faced delays in the United States due to the need to review the pricing strategy in response to the tariffs imposed during Donald Trump’s administration, which has resulted in an increase in the prices of accessories. This strategic adjustment aims to ensure the competitiveness of the new device in the U.S. market, one of the most important for Nintendo.

Shuntaro Furukawa, president of Nintendo, has publicly apologized for the shortage of available units, stating that the company is working hard to meet the demand generated by consumer interest. The situation is also reflected in other markets, with France reporting a “historic level” in pre-orders for the console, suggesting strong commercial performance globally.

Additionally, it has been reported that certain improvements for porting games to the Nintendo Switch 2 will have designated costs, images that anticipate an attractive future for fans of the franchise. As the release dates approach, the excitement for the console continues to grow, and Nintendo seems ready to capitalize on this interest, despite the logistical complications it faces. Pre-orders are skyrocketing worldwide, reflecting Nintendo’s positioning in the competitive video game console market.
