Gaming analyst Mat Piscatella forecasts robust sales for the Nintendo Switch 2, projecting approximately 4.3 million units sold in the US during 2025, contingent on a first-half launch. This prediction positions the Switch 2 as a significant player, capturing roughly one-third of the US console market (excluding handheld PCs). This echoes the original Switch's impressive 4.8 million unit sales by the end of 2017, a figure that exceeded Nintendo's initial projections.
While anticipation for the Switch 2 is palpable, translating this hype into substantial sales remains uncertain. Several crucial factors will influence its 2025 performance, including launch timing, hardware quality, and the competitiveness of its game lineup. A pre-summer launch, potentially timed around Japan's Golden Week, could significantly boost sales.
Piscatella acknowledges potential supply chain challenges, mirroring the initial shortages experienced with the original Switch and the PlayStation 5. However, Nintendo's preparedness for this remains unknown. The analyst's forecast suggests strong performance but anticipates the PlayStation 5 retaining its top spot in US console sales. The highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2025 could further bolster PlayStation 5 sales. Ultimately, the Switch 2's success hinges on delivering compelling hardware and a strong initial game library.
