The rollout of the Nintendo Switch 2 has been less than ideal up to this point. Months of leaks spoiled much of the surprise for what’s already a fairly straightforward successor to the second-best-selling console ever. And Nintendo’s decision to follow the official reveal up with two months of nothing is a bummer for enthusiasts. Neither of those factors, however, is likely to impact the excitement and success of the Switch 2.
What has taken a hit in recent months is the original Switch. The eight-year-old device and its software have seen enough of a dip in sales for Nintendo to readjust its expectations a second time. And though it may seem a clear indication that the public’s ready to move on to the next big thing, Nintendo’s President Shuntaro Furukawa says he believes otherwise.
