Nintendo has officially announced that its Switch successor will debut before April 1, with various reports and leaks suggesting an imminent reveal. As anticipation builds around the launch of a novel gaming console, renowned industry expert Mat Piscatella from Circana weighs in with intriguing projections on its potential gross sales.
According to Piscatella’s projections when discussing the Nintendo Switch 2 with BlueSky, he forecasts that the console will sell approximately 4.3 million units in the US alone by 2025, accounting for roughly a third of total US console hardware sales for the year, excluding portable PC devices like Steam Deck. Piscatella’s predictions hinge largely on the PlayStation 5 console’s timely launch within the first six months of the year.
Despite its impressive debut year numbers in the region, the analyst still predicts that the PS5 will remain the top-selling console in the US market for all of 2025, a testament to its enduring popularity. According to him, should Change 2 prevail, inventory depletion is anticipated for several months subsequent to an initial, substantial demand spike.
The anticipation surrounding the official reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch date is palpable, with many eager to know how long they’ll have to wait before getting their hands on the latest iteration. Stay tuned for additional updates in the days and weeks ahead.
