The Nintendo Switch 2's second month on the market was another explosive one, at least in the U.S., where it surpassed 2 million units sold life-to-date, putting it 75% ahead of the unit sales pace set by the Nintendo Switch 1.
Which is both depressing and confusing considering the sharply increased price on games and the system itself coupled with the increase in wealth disparity. If I were a conspiracy theorist type, I would say rich people/companies are buying systems at an extreme rate in an attempt to normalize the increasing prices and further erode the middle class.
The original Switch was constantly sold out. I assume there were supply issues. It’s likely that it would have outsold the Switch 2 if they’d had the same supply.
No conspiracy. High prices are already normalized. Companies have been setting record breaking profits by just straight up increasing prices for no reason since 2019. I also wonder how this hasn’t affected sales but I guess people had a lot more money then they realized. Had.
