Humble estimate
The original Nintendo Switch sold about 18 million units in the first year of its release. While the original switch was released after the Wii U, which is a console with disappointing Lifetime Commercial Performance, Switch 2 is the successor of one of the most sold -selling consoles so far.

“We have set sales for Nintendo Switch 2 in the current financial year, 15 million units,” said Frookawa. “This figure is based on a target comparing the original Nintendo Switch’s sale during the 10 -month period from its launch in March 2017, until the end of December this year. The sales projection was not determined on the basis of our production capacity.” The situation about US prices and economic misery has also not affected our forecast. We are required to get 15 million preparations, we do not even need, we do not need, we do not need to take advantage of the need.
Explaining the sales projection, Frookawa said that this is mainly due to the high cost of switch 2 – “Since the price of switch 2 is higher than the original switch, we recognize that there will be considerable obstacles to the widespread adoption of the console in the early stages.”
Switch 2 is much more expensive than the original switch. The console will cost 9 449.99 in the United States, which is $ 150 more expensive than the original switch launch prices.
