Switch 2 Could Face Bottleneck: Nintendo reports high demand
In the Switch 2, bottlenecks are already evident in availability. Nintendo admitted today that the company will not be able to meet the high number of pre -orders in Japan in good time.
Nintendo cannot meet Japanese pre -orders
Like Nintendo about his Japanese Social media account The company has received a total of 2.2 million “applications” for Switch 2 in Japan alone in Japan alone. The expectations of the game group were thus exceeded. The number of pre-orders also exceeds the quantities available for the market launch on June 5, 2025 via the Japanese Nintendo store.
The statement came directly from Nintendo boss Shuntaro Furukawa, who also made it clear that a “significant number of customers” will probably be unsuccessful when raffling up the pre-order options via the My Nintendo Store. In Japan, a Lossystem uses in Nintendo to distribute the slots for pre -ordering the Switch 2. This also wants to ensure that usury prices are prevented.

One reason for the enormously high number of participants in the pre-order raffle for Switch 2 is that in Japan you offer a very discounted version of the device that comes onto the market in parallel to the regular edition. The cheaper model is only offered with a Japanese -language user interface and costs the equivalent of just under 310 euros, while the regular variant with international user interface is sold for the equivalent of 430 euros.
If you are not lucky to pre-order the Switch 2 via the Nintendo store in Japan, you will automatically take part in a second round for the raffle for another purchase option. Pre -orders in Europe have been running for a few weeks, although the demand is also very high in this country and some providers have already sold stocks available for market launch in early June.
