Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Launch to 2025, Cites Supply and Scalping Concerns
- Nintendo Switch 2 launch delayed to March 2025 at the earliest to ensure enough units to satisfy demand and prevent scalping
- March 2025 is the earliest possible release date; could slip even later
- Nintendo recently revised Switch sales forecasts up despite a decline compared to last year
- Switch has sold 139 million units total, second only to DS and PS2
- Backwards compatibility with next-gen console is a big unanswered question given 122 million existing Switch players
