The Nintendo Switch 2 is coming, and if analysts are to be believed, this new version of the hybrid console could crush the Xbox and PlayStation for years. More powerful, still just as versatile, but without reinventing the wheel, it is already shaping up to be a must-have for all gamers.
Do you remember the tidal wave caused by the original Switch in 2017? This hybrid console had won the hearts of gamers. You can play it at home or anywhere else. Today, Nintendo is preparing to do it again with the Switch 2, and according to analysts at DFC Intelligence, it could dominate the console market for years to come. The predicted figures are already dizzying and it’s between 15 and 17 million copies sold in its first year. So, simple update or future queen of gaming? Let’s break it all down!
The Nintendo Switch 2 expected like the messiah
I’ve always loved Nintendo surprises. There DS and its touch screen, the Wii and its controllers that made you feel like a real bowling pro in your living room. And of course, the Switch which instantly went from a home console to a portable one.
The Nintendo Switch 2 could well shake up all the cards in the world of consoles. According to DFC Intelligencean expert firm in video game industry analysis, this console will knock out the Xbox and PlayStation.
According to the latest rumors, the Nintendo Switch 2 would be an XXL version of the first. In particular, a new console that is even more powerful, but with a similar design. And frankly, some might wonder if this choice isn’t a little lazy.
After all, we’ve seen upgradeable consoles fall into oblivion, like Wii U. But analysts are categorical in affirming that the Switch 2 will be a monumental hit.
Nintendo, king of consoles by 2028 according to analysts
I remember that for the first Switch, Nintendo sold 15.5 million units in one year. The Switch 2 could therefore do even better, with sales predicted between 15 and 17 million copies in its first year (2025). If that’s not a sign of confidence in Nintendo magic, I don’t know what is!
Furthermore, according to analysts, the Nintendo Switch 2 could reach, in 2028, more than 80 million units soldagainst only 30 million for the next PlayStation and a little less than 10 million for the portable Xbox. It is therefore a clear domination, helped by an exit strategically timed before any real competition.
