Nintendo's new generation console Switch 2 has been selling well since its release, and its global sales have exceeded millions, setting a new record in the game console industry.Despite constant criticisms about game prices, screen refresh rate, etc., consumers are still enthusiastic and are rushing to buy this new console.In fact, Nintendo even had to apologize to users due to the high demand.
At the shareholders' meeting held recently, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa said that the company has received unprecedented order demand for Switch 2.This popularity is extremely strong not only in Japan, but also in many countries, and even many Nintendo shareholders find it difficult to buy the Switch 2 console.
Furukawa said that the company is currently making every effort to increase its production capacity and strive to improve the supply tight situation as soon as possible.He revealed that the inventory status of offline retail channels has gradually improved, and plans to start a new round of lottery sales in July to alleviate the pressure on users to purchase machines.
Furukawa said that since April, Nintendo has selected and sold through the My Nintendo Store, with the number of applicants in the first round reaching 2.2 million, far exceeding expectations.Four rounds of draws have been conducted, and the fifth round will be launched in July, and more offline retailers are also joining the draw.
At the end of his speech, he apologized to consumers who had not yet purchased the Switch 2, admitting that the company failed to fully estimate the initial launch demand.Furukawa apologized solemnly: "We deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused by this initial demand, which is much beyond our expectations."
Like other consoles, Nintendo said that the global inventory of Switch 2 is expected to gradually stabilize in the future, and the starting lineup will continue to expand.Among them, the highly anticipated "Dong Qigang: All-Opening Banana" will be launched soon, bringing players more exciting content.
