Nintendo is already looking ahead to the long-awaited Switch 2 release and what difficulties may come along with it, including the probability that the new console will sell out much like its predecessor did in 2017.

Speaking in a Q&A following Nintendo's latest financial results (translated via DeepL and Google), company president Shuntaro Furukawa explains that Nintendo is preparing to "meet as much demand as possible" with the Switch 2. He explains that the company plans to gauge consumers' interest in the console based on reactions to the information that's set to be revealed during the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2, as well as those observed from the hands-on Switch 2 Experience events, which will be held worldwide.
