Access to Nintendo Switch 2 Consoles can be scarce until months to spring 2026, according to an important Japanese news publication, which bases its assessment of two different financial analysts. Players around the world have already rushed to get hold of Nintendo Switch 2 since it was released a month ago, and production and demand estimates show that the purchase may not be easier until sometime next year.
Nintendo Switch 2 was released on June 5, 2025, and its popularity in the gaming market could set new console sales records for Nintendo, if not the industry as a whole. At present, Playstation 2 remains the best -selling console of all time, with more than 160 million units sold, and the handheld Nintendo DS is in second place, exceeding 154 million units.

Nintendo addresses Switch 2 Delivery for 2025
A higher Nintendo official continues to advertise to clarify the repeated situation about the company's Switch 2 supply for 2025.
According to Nikkei Asia, the lack of Switch 2 consoles in Japan leads to some retailers offering a first served, first-servant format, while Nintendo's online store has run several rounds of randomly selected lotteries to determine which of the millions of potential players have entered will be able to buy one. Nintendo -President Shuntaro Furukawa apologizes for Switch 2 deficiencies at the end of June, which the Japanese publication states have largely been affected by an inaccessibility of the necessary semiconductors. Nintendo is trying to deal with its production issues, but estimates now show that Switch 2 consoles may not be easily accessible until spring 2026.
Nintendo Switch 2 deficiencies can last until spring 2026
This estimate is supported by estimated sales figures from two different industry analysts – Hideki Yasuda from Toyo Securities and Zhai Yijia from UBS Securities. Both of these analysts predict that more than 6 million switch 2 units were sold worldwide in the month of June 2025, although the validity of three estimates won't be made clear until nintendo release the actual To do on August 1. Both Analysts Estimate that at Least 18 Million Switch 2 Consoles will have been sold by the end of the current fiscal year, with yasuda boosting that figure to 20 million. A somewhat more conservative report on Switch 2 Opening Month Sales from MST-Finance Analyst David Gibson, who was announced earlier this week, predicts that Nintendo sold 5.4 million units in June.
Lack of questions are aggravated by statements from Furukawa which indicates that Nintendo can still raise the price of Switch 2 in some markets. Nintendo had already temporarily delayed pre -order sales to the United States and Canadian markets after uncertainty made by US President Donald Trump's Customs Policy, and Furukawa said in May that the company would have to continue to monitor market factors for global market factors to determine the potential price adjustments of the console, especially if customs change.
