Summary

  • After an eight-year wait, Nintendo has launched its new Switch 2 console at select stores worldwide, including a new store in San Francisco and one other in New York.
  • The consoles retail for 1,000 if you want all the extras with it.
  • The Switch 2 is the replacement for the previous Switch model that was launched in 2017 and sold 150 million units to devoted Nintendo fans.
  • This is the first time in years that Nintendo has done a midnight launch for its products, with people lined up for hours for the chance to be one of the first to get their hands on the device.
  • This launch is in sharp contrast to recent console launches that are mostly done virtually and through digital sales, with some companies reporting 95% of sales being digital.
