February 24th 2025.
It seems that the general consensus is leaning towards June as the most likely release date for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. However, there have been some doubts raised about the accuracy of this prediction, as retailers may not have all the information they need to confirm a specific date.
While the official announcement for the Nintendo Switch 2 has been made, there is still very little known about the console itself. The reveal trailer did mention a 2025 launch, but no other details were given. Typically, new consoles are released in the fall, but the original Switch was released in March, making spring a popular option as well.
While it is quite rare for a console to be released in the summer, there have been persistent rumors that the Switch 2 will be launched in or around June. This prediction has been echoed by a former member of Nintendo of America's sales team, Sean, who shared his thoughts on the Kit and Krista podcast. He believes that Nintendo will want to release the Switch 2 before the end of the summer, possibly even in mid-June, in order to generate excitement and anticipation among kids who will be out of school.
Sean's prediction has raised some questions about the accuracy of retailers' information. He is certain that retailers have no knowledge beyond a possible confirmation of the quarter in which the console will be released. They will only be informed of the exact release date at the last minute, which makes sense considering the numerous fake rumors that have surfaced so far.
It is not clear if Sean has any insider knowledge or if his prediction is based on his experience with the company. However, his comments about retailers not having all the information seem believable, given his history. He believes that retailers will probably find out the launch date a couple of days before the Nintendo Direct event, which is speculated to take place on March 27th.
Despite the multiple rumors about a summer release, there is still no clear explanation for why Nintendo would choose such an unusual time for a launch. Typically, video game sales are at their lowest during this time of the year. However, there may be several factors at play here, including a lack of new releases for the original Switch and the fact that the Switch 2 is a portable console, perfect for summer vacations.
Some have speculated that Nintendo may be trying to avoid the release of GTA 6, as the two products are quite different and it is expected that the highly anticipated sequel will dominate the industry for several months. However, without a confirmed release date for GTA 6, it is impossible for Nintendo to plan around it, which may explain their decision to launch in the summer.
