The original Switch was hard to come by when it released back in 2017, while the PS5 was absolutely plagued by stock shortages for almost an entire year after launch. To make matters worse, PS5 consoles were often snapped up by scalpers and resold at a higher cost.

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has addressed potential Switch 2 shortages at launch, and is aiming to meet high demand.

Nintendo is playing it safe, and while more details are set to be revealed in a dedicated Nintendo Direct broadcast on April 2, there are undoubtedly areas where the upcoming console could improve on its predecessor.
