Nintendo’s next-generation game console, Switch 2, has seen record demand even before it was released. The intense interest, especially in Japan, has raised the possibility of a global stock crisis. In Japan alone, online pre-order applications have already exceeded 2.2 million.

There may be a stock crisis in Nintendo Switch 2

Nintendo’s top executives state that the demand level has far exceeded the limits the company anticipated. It has become clear that the stocks that will go on sale on June 5 will not be able to meet the current application figures.

This intense demand in Japan also provides important clues about the developments that will occur in the global market. The pre-order process has also started in the US, Europe and other major markets. In some regions, stocks have been sold out on the first day.

The launch price of Nintendo Switch 2 in Japan has been set at $350. While this price is supported by special campaigns in the country, it is not yet clear how pricing policies will be shaped in other markets.

However, it was stated that due to limited production capacity and high demand, black market sales may accelerate in June. Although details about what technical innovations the Switch 2 offers are limited; it is known that the console includes significant hardware improvements and provides backward compatibility.

It is wondered how Nintendo will cope with this high demand. So what do you think about this issue? Are you planning to get a Nintendo Switch 2 in the coming period? You can easily share your opinions with us in the comments section below.
