Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa spoke about the new Switch 2 console during a recent investor meeting. He said customer demand surprised company leaders who expected much lower sales numbers. The gaming system sold faster than Nintendo planned for production. Store shelves emptied quickly across many countries around the world. Furukawa said sorry to customers who could not buy the popular gaming device.

Nintendo started using a lottery system at their online store during April to handle the huge demand. More than two million people signed up to try winning a chance to purchase the console. The company has run four separate lottery events since April began. A fifth lottery will start during July for people who have not won previous drawings. Many regular stores also began using lottery systems to sell the gaming system fairly.

The Switch 2 gaming console sold more than 3.5 million units during its first four days on store shelves. Sales moved twice as fast compared to the original Switch console during the same time period. DFC Intelligence research company raised their sales prediction from 15 million units to 16 million units for 2025. Research experts believe the console could sell 20 million units without production problems limiting availability. Nintendo continues working to increase manufacturing speed and deliver more consoles to eager customers.
