Nintendo asks partners and suppliers to assemble about 20 million Nintendo Switch 2 units by March 2027, roughly 20% above the 16.5 million public sales forecast announced in early May

Bloomberg reports Nintendo has asked its supply chain to assemble about 20 million Switch 2 units by March 2027.

That figure is about 20% above the 16.5 million units Nintendo projected in May.

The move suggests Nintendo sees stronger-than-expected demand for the new console.

The production request could still change depending on future market conditions.
