Nintendo is witnessing a request that exceeds its SWITCH 2 absorbent capacity in Japan and resort to the lottery system

Nintendo announced its receipt of huge prior requests for its upcoming Switch 2 in Japan, indicating that the device may be on its way to be the largest launch of a device in the history of the game industry.

The company provided the lottery system in the Japanese market to deal with the highly high demand volume that exceeds its ability to absorb, so that it is given priority to customers who were active in playing or purchased online subscriptions for the first Switch device while they were able to meet the entire market needs with time.

Nintendo president stated Shontaro Furukawa Through the company’s page on the social media platform X regarding the topic, where he mentioned that the company received about 2.2 million requests to participate in the sales lotion through the official store in Japan only, which is a much larger number than the company’s expectations, and added that the company is heading with a deep apology to the large number of players who will not be chosen to obtain the device in the first stage during the lottery withdrawals.

It seems based on strong indicators that the Switch 2, which will be sold at $ 450, will be the cornerstone of the future of Nintendo, as it will be behind the first Switch device that has achieved great success for 8 years for Nintendo.

It should be noted that the device will be displayed at a significantly lowest price than the global version, as it will be 49,980 yen, equivalent to only about 350 USD, which is an exclusive version in Japanese, that is, the main language cannot be changed to any other language.

This will make him mainly confined to the Japanese player and reduces a lot of the ability to get him out at this price to be displayed in stores outside Japan, but this was a double -edged sword as its cheaper price in Japan also contributed to increasing the domestic demand tremendously, especially in the current stage and the increase in the industry, especially after the customs taxes imposed by US President Donald Trump.

It is reported that Nintendo stores in the United States will start opening pre -requests on the device next Thursday after postponing them because of the need to assess the impact of customs duties on prices.
