Bloomberg is reporting that Nintendo has raised its Nintendo Switch 2 sales forecast by around 20% as it looks to manufacturer more Nintendo Switch 2 consoles in order to meet the demand it’s currently expecting. There’s some heavy hitters on the horizon including Star Fox and the rumoured The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, which is expected to launch later this year. Bloomberg says that a Nintendo spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on the production volume plan.
“For them, there is no real downside in lowballing numbers first and then surpassing them later,” said Tokyo-based industry analyst Serkan Toto. “The just-finished fiscal year is a good example.”
