Reports Suggest Nintendo Switch 2 May Launch Sooner Than Expected

Nearly 400,000 units of the Nintendo Switch 2 have reportedly been shipped to North America, fueling speculation of an early summer release.

Nintendo has reportedly shipped 383,000 completed Switch 2 units to the US and Canada in January 2025, according to tracking by Famiboards user LiC.
Additional shipments of parts suggest that over 1.7 million units could be ready for the US market soon.
Speculation points to a possible early summer 2025 release, though Nintendo has only confirmed a 2025 launch without specifying a date.
A Nintendo Direct scheduled for April 2, 2025, will officially reveal more details about the Switch 2, including its capabilities and release plans.
Reports indicate the Switch 2's charging grip, shipped separately, will not be included as part of the console's standard retail package.
