Nintendo is surprised by the overwhelming demand for the Switch 2, with 2.2 million pre-order lottery entries in Japan alone. The company will announce winners on April 24th and is working to increase production to meet demand. Pre-orders will also open in the US and Canada on April 24th, maintaining the $450 price point despite potential losses. High demand may lead to exploitative resellers, mirroring past issues with consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
