Nintendo's response to original Switch shortages
Nintendo has acknowledged the challenges faced during the original Switch launch due to shortages caused by a global chip shortage and scalpers.
Combatting scarcity with Switch 2
Company president Shuntaro Furukawa has announced a plan to address the issue and ensure that the upcoming Switch 2 will be readily available to customers at launch.
Targeting scalpers
Furukawa aims to flood the market with enough Switch 2 consoles to meet demand, making it difficult for scalpers to create artificial scarcity and inflate prices.
Switch 2 details and release
While details about the Switch 2 are scarce, Furukawa hinted at a 2025 launch for the console. Speculation and rumors surround the upcoming release.
