- Bloomberg surveyed industry analysts about the Switch 2 launch, and expectations are high.
- Analysts predict the console will launch in June 2025 at a price of at least $400—a jump from the original Switch's $300 launch price in 2017.
- Switch 2 could be the most expensive Nintendo console ever, due to higher component costs and U.S. trade tariffs.
- Despite the price increase, experts forecast record-breaking launch sales, with 6-8 million units available at release.
- For comparison, the original Switch sold 2.7 million units in its first month, while the PS5 and PS4 launched with 4.5 million each.
- Nintendo will officially unveil details about Switch 2 and its launch lineup on April 2.
