Impossible to miss. The Nintendo Switch 2 was finally officially announced by Nintendo on January 16, 2025. And if one category of people complained, for once, it was not (too much) the players, but rather the investors. Indeed, very shortly after the event, Big N's shares suffered a notable fall on the stock market. If some of our colleagues speak of a “unscrewing”, we will remain a little more measured since it is a loss of 7% which, have no doubt, will be quickly compensated. Let us point out, however, that this morning, shares were still down 4.5%.
Too little difference with the first Switch of the name?
It's difficult to know what didn't please shareholders, but the fact that the Switch 2 is not (yet) seen as something as innovative (some would say “disruptive”) as its glorious predecessor is undoubtedly no stranger to this distrust. In addition, the absence of real information on the technical data (screen resolution, processor used, etc.) has undoubtedly not worked in favor of the Kyoto firm despite the first visuals of a new Mario Kart , true system seller of the Switch 2.
