Nintendo seems to have very big ambitions for the Nintendo Switch 2, which could be excellent news for consumers and all gamers.
Nintendo is preparing to launch its new console, the Nintendo Switch 2, with high production ambitions. According to a Bloomberg report, based on data from Omdia (a technology research and consulting company), the release of this new console is scheduled for later in 2024. This is what we were able to report to you last week . The report states that the Switch 2 will feature an 8-inch LCD screen, a specification that has caused some disappointment among fans, with many expecting a more modern OLED screen. However, this is not the only information to take into account.
The Nintendo Switch 2 and its production
Nintendo’s decision to opt for an LCD screen rather than an OLED was seen by some as a technological step backwards. However, this move could be a strategy to maintain a more affordable selling price during the console’s initial launch, thus making the product more accessible to consumers. The estimated selling price would be around $400. Especially since the Japanese giant has considerable ambitions.
Indeed, in order to prevent stock problems commonly encountered during the launches of new consoles, Nintendo plans to produce 10 million units of the Switch 2 for the fiscal year beginning April 2024. This impressive figure demonstrates the anticipation of strong demand and the company’s desire to avoid shortages. A problem that has often disrupted the launches of new consoles in the past. This tends to annoy consumers and lead to higher prices, even from large retailers.
A few more mysteries
The Nintendo Switch 2 remains shrouded in mystery. Nintendo has yet to confirm its appearance, hardware specifications, or provide a preview of what games will be available at launch. Despite this lack of detailed information, the announcement sparked great excitement among Nintendo fans and gamers around the world.
It is also likely that an OLED version of the Switch 2 will launch at a later date. Thus following the trend of hardware releases where first versions are often followed by improved versions. The Omdia report explains that it will not be this year in any case. In summary, with the planned production of 10 million units of the Switch 2, Nintendo is preparing for a monumental launch, demonstrating both its confidence in the product and his understanding of the logistical challenges associated with new console launches.
