Nintendo forecasts sales of 15 million Switch 2 consoles as it gears up for launch

In its first sales forecast, Nintendo said it expects to sell 15 million Switch 2 units in the fiscal year ending March 2026.

The new console is due to go on sale in the U.S. June 2025.

Revenue and profit plunged in the fourth quarter, the Japanese video game company said, although this was largely expected as Nintendo fans await the Switch 2 launch.

The Switch 2 will start at $449.99 in the U.S. and has improved features compared with its predecessor.
