Nintendo anticipates selling 15 million Switch 2 consoles in the upcoming fiscal year, which is thought to be a cautious estimate. Analysts suggest stronger potential sales due to high demand but note concerns over U.S. trade tariffs affecting market forecasts. Before announcing the $449.99 price, estimates were as high as 20 million units. Nintendo's initial stock for launch is expected to be between 6 to 8 million, indicating robust demand that the company may struggle to meet, which could still place the Switch 2 among the fastest-selling consoles in history.
