To avoid issues of resellers profiting from Nintendo Switch 2 stock delays, the company is planning to ramp up stock when the console is released.<\/p>\n
Since the first Switch console launched back in 2017, the console has faced issues of low stock, both on its initial release and during the chip shortage during the pandemic in 2020. Nintendo<\/a> is determined not to have the same issues with the launch of the Switch 2<\/a>, to avoid scalpers from selling on consoles at inflated prices.<\/p>\n IGN<\/a> reports that Nintendo has told investors during a Q&A that avoiding resellers is a priority for them. Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa stated that the goal is to produce enough Switch 2 consoles so that resellers won\u2019t have the market power to control prices, as they have done before.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a measure against resale, we believe that the most important thing is to produce a sufficient number of units to meet customer demand, and this approach has not changed since last year,\u201d Furukawa said. \u201cIn addition, we are considering whether we can take any measures within the scope of legal restrictions, taking into account circumstances of each region.\u201d<\/p>\n Nintendo is yet to confirm even a vague release window for the Switch 2 but, during the same investors\u2019 meeting, it was revealed that the company has not included the follow-up console in its sales forecasts for this year, keeping the release either as a surprise this year or confirming that it will come out next year.<\/p>\n Indeed, that\u2019s in line with the consensus from leakers and rumors that point to a release in the first quarter of 2025, with a reveal promised this fiscal year<\/a>. Nintendo has a history of surprise drops, as with the shock reveal of the OLED Switch in 2021, so keeping details like these private is par for the course for the tech company.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen will the Nintendo Switch 2 come out?<\/h2>\n
