News Nintendo of America President Assures Enough Supply to Meet Switch 2 Demand in the US "We do have a plan to have a continuous flow of product that'll be available through the holidays,” assured Doug Bowser. Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 18th, May. 2025 Despite backlash to video game pricing and features like Game Chat, the hype for the Nintendo Switch 2 is strong. Such is the demand that Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa had to apologize for shortages in the My Nintendo Store for those who applied via a lottery in Japan. While the company forecasts 15 million units sold for the current fiscal year (ending on March 31st, 2026), Nintendo of America boss Doug Bowser told IGN this was driven by matching the Switch’s initial ten months on the market. As for the future, he believes the company will have enough production and supply to meet demand. “[Nintendo President] Mr. [Shuntaro] Furukawa last week announced that we’ll have 15 million units in our forecast for Nintendo Switch 2 and 4.5 million units for Nintendo Switch during the fiscal year. “That forecast was really driven by wanting to match, if you will, what we accomplished with Nintendo Switch in the first 10 months of its release. As we look at our plans here in the U.S., we do believe we’ll have production and supply that will allow us to meet consumer demand. “We know there’s been strong positive reaction to Nintendo Switch 2 early on, and we’ve seen that through our preorders, but we do have a plan to have a continuous flow of product that’ll be available through the holidays.” The Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5th worldwide for $449.99 alongside titles like Mario Kart World, which retails for $79.99. You can purchase both in a bundle for $499.99, though this is only available in limited quantities until this Fall. Check out our official comparison of the Switch 2’s specs with the original here. Temper your expectations for Variable Refresh Rate support in Docked Mode, though, since Nintendo finally clarified that it’s not supported.
