Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 system have been a resounding success for Nintendo, more so than the company had actually expected. Rough pre-order estimates show that the Kyoto-based company is allocating around 1.2 million Nintendo Switch 2 units at launch in the Land of the Rising Sun. This base figure takes into account consolidated survey results from the first two My Nintendo Store Switch 2 pre-order lotteries and Japanese retailers pre-order lotteries. To put this in perspective the original Nintendo Switch sold 330,000 units at launch and the PlayStation 2 sold 600,000 units at launch.
