An official release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 has yet to be set, but rumors continue to spread. This year seems like it was the right one for the Japanese company to make the leap to the new generation of consoles, but its implementation is taking a long time to the point that Nintendo itself has not yet said a word. Now, there is speculation that their negotiations will not begin to bear fruit until 2025 for good reason.
Nintendo fans must be crying their hair out. Although the main hypotheses predicted that the release of the new Nintendo Switch 2 would take place in September of this year, other experts predict that this will not be the case, and that we will have to wait until the following year to enjoy the new generation that has prepared the Mario Bros. house. A new report has uncovered the causes of this delay, which are not wasteful.
Nintendo Switch 2 for 2025?
The launch of a new console on the market is always a sign of joy for all those who are diehards in the world of video games. However, not everything that glitters is gold and delays may occur in order to release good hardware and ensure that everything is polished to avoid the existence of technical problems. Although PS5 and Xbox Series
According to an article in the Asian media Nikkei, the successor to Nintendo Switch would be scheduled for March 2025, instead of mid-2024, as recently announced. The report confirms that the reasons would be to prioritize ensuring the initial stock of Nintendo Switch 2 and guaranteeing a sufficient volume of launch games. Thus, this delay would speed up sales and provide developers with more time to create video games on this device.
While waiting for a definitive response from the Japanese manufacturer, we must take all this information with a grain of salt, since the spokespersons did not want to make any statements. Work is also being done on “pre-sale measures” so that a situation similar to that of PS5 and Xbox Series X does not occur, whose prices ended up being raised by speculators due to lack of stock.
Nintendo Switch numbers
There is no doubt that Nintendo Switch sales are achieving overwhelming success, placing it as the third best-selling console in history globally, with more than 139 million units. Likewise, it is one of the longest-lived machines, that is, with the highest life cycle, after the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), although it is expected to be surpassed this summer.
In stock market terms, the company has not stopped growing, as its capitalization has tripled since 2017, the year in which the Nintendo Switch made its stellar appearance.
