Finding a Nintendo Switch 2 in stores should be easy, compared to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, as a huge amount of consoles should be produced during the first fiscal year of availability.
Providing an update on today's earlier report, which suggests the next console by Nintendo will be released later this year with an 8" LCD panel, Bloomberg's Takashi Mochizuki revealed on X/Twitter that, based on display shipment data, Nintendo should produce over 10 million units in the console's first fiscal year of availability. This, coupled with the fact that there are no chip shortages, should make it easier to find the console in stores. Additionally, an OLED version of the console could be coming, but definitely not at launch.
Display shipment data suggest Nintendo would make 10M+ of next-gen console in initial FY. Unlike PS5 and XSX/S that faced chip shortages at launch, Nintendo's would be much easier to find at stores. And about OLED version, Omdia says not "for this year."https://t.co/7SnKeoZOtU

Despite the console being a really badly kept secret, the Nintendo Switch 2 has yet to be officially announced. The new console from the Japanese company is expected to be released later this year, and it should deliver smooth 1080p gameplay with ray tracing. Thanks to NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction support, the console will also offer the best ray tracing capabilities of any console currently on the market.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has yet to be officially unveiled. We will keep you updated on the console as soon as more come in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
