Nintendo’s president, Shuntaro Furukawa, announced through Nintendo’s official X account in Japan that the Nintendo Switch 2 has received a highly positive response, especially from customers in Japan. Approximately 2.2 million people have shown interest in pre-ordering the new console.
Furukawa stated that this number is significantly higher than initially estimated by the company and exceeds the initial batch of Switch 2 units that the company could deliver. As a result, there will be a considerable number of customers who may not receive the opportunity to purchase the Switch 2. Customers in Japan will receive the official announcement tomorrow.
Nintendo will conduct a second-round lottery for customers with the purchasing right at a later date. Customers who registered for the first round do not need to re-register, including for subsequent rounds.
Furukawa concluded by apologizing for any inconvenience caused to customers who were unable to purchase the product as planned. Nintendo will expedite production and delivery to meet the demand.
TLDR: Nintendo’s Switch 2 received high interest in Japan, with 2.2 million customers interested. A second round lottery will be conducted for customers with purchasing rights, and production will be accelerated to meet demand.
