Nintendo’s Switch 2 Hype Surges as GameStop Promises Extra Launch Stock
Tokyo, Japan: Anticipation for Nintendo’s next-gen “Switch 2” console hit new highs after a leaked GameStop memo promised “more launch-day units than expected.” Fans who missed pre-orders might still grab one if they queue early on June 5. Rumors say the Switch 2 maintains the hybrid handheld/TV concept but with beefed-up performance. Analysts predict up to 10 million sales within three months, rivaling the original Switch’s historic debut. GameStop aims to boost in-store traffic with extra inventory, a strategic move in a changing retail climate.
