Title: Nintendo Switch 2 OLED could launch earlier due to low demand of Switch 2 LCD
Post by: Redaktion on March 24, 2026, 13:05:42
The Nintendo Switch 2 is said to have sold much worse than Nintendo expected in the important Christmas sales period, which is why the gaming giant is said to have cut production of the console by a third. Sales of the cheaper Japan-exclusive model suggest that the high price is the problem.

Or they could release the "cheaper" Japan only model globally.
They are doing everything besides trying to reduce the price for the rest of the fans around the world

Porting old PC games to switch is stupid. Switch 2 has no point atm.

Why would they do that? We live in a world where you've z2 extreme windows handhelds like the legion go 2 that just increased the price MSRP by $500.

They're probably looking at that and laughing. Maybe wondering if they should do another price increase for a future oled switch 2.

Please elaborate, it's not obvious to me the message you're trying to convey here.

Games aren't being ported to switch 2 because it has a point. They're starting to port and will continue to port because it's selling really well and has decent marketshare now. Almost 20 million in a few months.

Also, what old pc games? They seem mostly cross platform console games to me.
