The Nintendo Switch 2 is somewhat confirmed (it is only called the Switch successor), and a recent discovery claims that its stock would not be a problem upon launch.
It was revealed that the Japanese entertainment company would have enough Switch 2 stocks when it arrives, and it may not have the same problems that the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series S and X previously faced for more than two years.
Initially, the problems of PS5 and Xbox centered on semiconductor supply, and Nintendo confidently claimed that it did not see that kind of problem for its successor console.

Furukawa thought there would be "enough" next-gen Switch consoles available for the world to purchase once it is released by next year.
Nintendo's top executive said that it does not see any current semiconductor supply issues, which could be a major reason for the public not to buy the Switch.
Furukawa further claimed that the issues that the past years until 2022 have seen would not be the same once the Switch 2 arrives.

No Console Shortage Problems for the Next Switch
With this, Nintendo is confident that the world will get its fair share of next-gen Switch consoles once it drops, but there are still other cases that buyers have to look out for.
One is the demand for the console, and this massive drive would also make it hard for fans and gamers to get the new Switch.
Additionally, there would be scalpers and hoarders who would get multiple units for reselling later and stagger the price of the device.
PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X Stock Issues
Now that Nintendo has confirmed the Switch 2, fans, gamers, and industry experts have certain concerns about the upcoming launch of the console, particularly with stock issues.
This is because the 2020-released consoles from its competitors, Sony and Microsoft, previously faced console shortages due to semiconductor supply problems.
It is only natural for fans and excited gamers to feel or think this way as the better part of the COVID-19 pandemic had massive problems regarding console gaming, with the available consoles seeing it immediately run out of stock.
There was also a significant case of scalpers and bots infiltrating the lines for console sales, including the ludicrous resale prices on eBay and other platforms.
Once it releases, the Switch 2 will undoubtedly be another in-demand console, especially as it was said to be modeled and inspired by the original Nintendo Switch consoles, and the industry knows how good it was.
With the next-gen Switch coming out next year, the company assures the world that console stocks will not be a problem, offering the experience readily available for interested buyers in 2025.
