It's been a long time… While Nintendo has just confirmed that its next unofficially named Switch (for convenience) Nintendo SWITCH 2 (or NS2) sera well backwards compatible and that we will also find the NINTENDO SWITCH ONLINEa new rumor has brightened up the news feed.
It comes to us, once again from the forum Famiboards and more precisely to the unknown artist who ventured to make a sketch of the new console docking station.
This time, he outdid himself by posting a coded message, unless it was a message written by a mischievous cat:

Z2hseSAyLjUgdGltZXMgdGhlIHZvbHVtZSBmcm9tIE1hcmNoIDIwMTcu
A precaution which just shows, either, a certain excitement or at worst, a propensity to troll, but which is completely useless since with the Base64 tool, the message was quickly decoded:
The initial stock quantity has been finalized, and the factory will plan production accordingly. I can't disclose the exact number, but for the US market alone, it's about 2.5 times the volume of March 2017
A priori, if we believe this mysterious source, Nintendo would therefore be ready for a major release in order to avoid the usual shortages of new consoles and what had notably happened to the PS5, out of stock for several months after its release.
If no figure is given, a member of the Reddit forum remembered that the initial shipment of the Switch during his first month marketing was 2,74 millions of consoles in the world, which multiplied by 2.5 would amount to more or less 6,5 millions of consoles, which would be simply huge.
It would seem that the biggest console launch of all time so far has been the PS5. However, we don't have any figures. We just know that the PS5 did slightly better than the PS4 which 2,1 millions of consoles had been shipped in 2 weeks.
If this is confirmed, it would mean that Nintendo is very confident about the success of the Nintendo SWITCH 2.
At the same time, given the “small” games released on Switch ces last monthswe can hope that Nintendo has some “big ones” in reserve for the release of its new console.
A little more patience, we should know everything (or almost) by March 2025.
In the meantime, don't hesitate to tell us what you think about it in the comments. and don't forget:
