There were lottery sales in Japan before the Nintendo Switch 2 was released. The Nintendo president apologized because Nintendo wouldn't be able to meet the demand. Over 1 million Japanese people who wanted to buy Nintendo Switch 2 systems at launch couldn't buy them.

The launch sales of the Nintendo Switch 2 in Japan are the biggest console launch sales in history in Japan, by the way.

                  you have to suffer, 12 Jun 2025i doubt it's just tegra X1 all over again. no disclosu... moreThe Nintendo Switch 2's SoC is the NVIDIA Tegra T239. It's a custom SoC made specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2 with the GPU performance of 3.09 TFLOPS. The GPU performance of the Snapdragon 8 Elite is about 3.379 TFLOPS. Let's say that the GPU of your Snapdragon 8 Elite device throttles to 75% after about 10 minutes under heavy load, the peak sustained performance will be dropped to about 2.53 TFLOPS. The Nintendo Switch 2 also supports DLSS that can significantly improve the performance. Non-NVIDIA systems can use other image upscaling methods such as FSR, but they are inferior to DLSS. In terms of raw GPU performance, the Nintendo Switch 2 is almost 8 times as powerful as the Nintendo Switch.

                    Congrats, Nintendo. This is a great console and also seems like this was one of the most smooth and problem free console launches ever. Trolls = don't matter.

                      i doubt it's just tegra X1 all over again. no disclosure? must be overclocked up to 7ghz to be comparable to 8 elite

The GPU performance is 3.09 TFLOPS. It will outperform a Snapdragon 8 Elite device in terms of GPU performance in TV mode when the latter throttles in about 10 minutes or so under heavy load. The 7.9" 120 Hz 1080p screen with HDR and VRR support is on par with the screens of much more expensive handheld PCs. It comes with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. It comes with detachable wireless controllers and a dock with active cooling. It supports 4K60. It's the only console that supports DLSS. And it's the only mainstream device that supports microSD Express cards which are much faster than microSD cards. Even the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X that will release later this year doesn't support microSD Express cards.

                            At this point, anyone who buys this old outdated janky sheet from this abomination of a company needs to tighten their collars two sizes smaller.

                            C'mon ya'll...some fools even put this purchase on their CC bill which they cannot pay out full for months to come. With suckas like these why should any company respect the consumer?

                                  If anyone who bought this console ever cries about "how much everything costs these days", they should remember that they spent way this much money on this piece of old tech crap.

                                  Have a lot of fun with your Switch 2. I'll skip. Thank you.

                                    Just more reasons not to buy from Nintendo out of spite. Give cheaper to bullies, punish the rest.

                                      Switch is the best console for a family. PS5 Xbox or any other system is for gamers but the switch is great for any demographic. Thats what makes it sell.
