Nintendo plans to manufacture up to 20 million Switch 2 consoles during fiscal year 2027. This production target exceeds the company's own shipment forecast of 16.5 million units by 21 percent.
Manufacturing targets exceed shipment estimates by 21 percent as console outsells original Switch
The console has already outsold the original Switch in launch-aligned shipments. Nintendo raised prices for the device in the second quarter of fiscal year 2027 due to market pressures including RAM shortages and inflation.
A $499 Choose Your Own Game bundle is available at a price of $499 USD (about $499). Previous reports indicated a planned production reduction from six million to four million units, but the new estimate reverses that trend.
Bloomberg reported on Nintendo's updated production and shipment forecasts for the Switch 2 console. The company has not confirmed specific launch windows or regional availability details beyond the US pricing information.
