Nintendo believes it will have enough stock to meet Switch 2 demand in the U.S.

Nintendo of America boss Doug Bowser has indicated that the company will have enough Switch 2 stock on hand to meet initial demand in the United States.

When a new piece of hardware comes around, there’s sometimes uncertainty as to whether the average consumers can easily get their hands on it. We’ll have to wait and see what happens in a few weeks, but Nintendo seems pretty confident in its supply for Switch 2. Bowser told IGN that the company has “a plan to have a continuous flow of product that’ll be available through the holidays.”

Bowser told the site:

“[Nintendo President] Mr. [Shuntaro] Furukawa last week announced that we’ll have 15 million units in our forecast for Nintendo Switch 2 and 4.5 million units for Nintendo Switch during the fiscal year. That forecast was really driven by wanting to match, if you will, what we accomplished with Nintendo Switch in the first 10 months of its release. As we look at our plans here in the U.S., we do believe we’ll have production and supply that will allow us to meet consumer demand. We know there’s been strong positive reaction to Nintendo Switch 2 early on and we’ve seen that through our preorders, but we do have a plan to have a continuous flow of product that’ll be available through the holidays.”

Most major retailers have already sold out of Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders. However, some stores should have a bit of stock on launch day. If you haven’t been able to reserve the unit, it might be worth checking in with your local retailer on June 5.
