The Nintendo Switch 2 is probably going to sell extremely well.

The original Nintendo Switch is currently the fifth best-selling video game console of all time, with the most recent figures reporting that around 146 million units had been sold as of November 2024 - which puts it above the PS4's 117 million. With the Switch 2, Nintendo is doubling down on that success, launching its first-ever numbered sequel to one of its consoles. From that alone, it's hard to see this new platform not following its parent's footsteps.
