Gaming analyst Mat Piscatella forecasts robust US sales for the Nintendo Switch 2, projecting approximately 4.3 million units sold in 2025, contingent on a first-half launch. This prediction mirrors the original Switch's impressive 4.8 million unit sales by the end of 2017, a figure that exceeded initial projections and led to supply chain challenges. This time, however, there's hope that Nintendo has proactively addressed potential production bottlenecks.
Anticipation for the Switch 2 is palpable, consistently trending on social media. However, translating this online buzz into substantial sales remains uncertain. Several crucial factors will influence the Switch 2's performance in 2025, including launch timing, hardware capabilities, and the competitiveness of its game library. A pre-summer launch, potentially timed around Japan's Golden Week, is speculated to maximize sales momentum.
Piscatella's analysis indicates the Switch 2 capturing roughly one-third of the US console market share in 2025 (excluding handheld PCs), suggesting strong performance but acknowledging potential supply constraints. While Nintendo's manufacturing preparedness remains unclear, the possibility of preemptive stockpiling to avoid a repeat of the original Switch's launch shortages exists.
Despite the optimistic outlook for the Switch 2, Piscatella anticipates the PlayStation 5 retaining its leading position in US console sales. The Switch 2's considerable hype is a positive factor, but the PS5's anticipated 2025 release of Grand Theft Auto 6, along with other high-profile titles, presents significant competition. Ultimately, the Switch 2's success hinges on its hardware quality and the appeal of its launch titles.
