Although its price and release date are not yet known, analysts believe this will not be a problem. “First-time Nintendo buyers aren’t very price sensitive, unless it’s prohibitive,” says Circana Games’ Mat Piscatella.
According to him, the starting price can be adjusted later, but this will not affect the initial sales. If production rates allow, the Switch 2 is expected to sell approximately 4.3 million units in the US and 14-17 million units worldwide in 2025.
The potential success of the console is associated with exclusive games. It is already known that Mario Kart 9 will be a launch game, just like Pokémon X & Y for 3DS, which could be a big incentive for buyers.
However, analysts do not expect the Switch 2 to exceed the approximately 150 million sales of the original model. “Switch 2 will definitely be successful, but it will be difficult to replicate the success of the Switch,” Piscatella says.
