The excitement around the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal had skyrocketed to over 17 million in just two days! This impressive figure puts it ahead of the PlayStation 5’s reveal, which managed about 13.3 million views within the same timeframe back in June 2020. It’s fascinating to see how eager fans are for this new console.
The original Switch teaser even topped 19.5 million views before its delisting. With numbers like these, it’s clear that Nintendo has stirred up quite a buzz among gamers.
Totaling approximately 44 million views since its debut nearly five years ago, the PS5 reveal might soon find itself overshadowed by the rapid rise of Switch 2’s popularity. The latter already boasts almost a million likes on its trailer, suggesting it’s poised to surpass PS5’s all-time figures shortly. Over on YouTube, it even claimed the top trending spot!
Engagement remains high on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), with over 40 million views from Nintendo of America’s account and more than 51 million from their Japanese counterpart. Fans are buzzing with anticipation.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Nintendo is gearing up to sell around 20 million units upon release, a testament to their confidence in this console’s appeal. The official reveal confirmed that we can expect a full unveiling on April 2 this year.
The new console will maintain a familiar design reminiscent of the original Switch but with some exciting tweaks like detachable magnetic joysticks and an enhanced display area. Plus, there’s talk of seeing a new Mario Kart game featured prominently in the trailer, adding another layer of excitement for Nintendo fans.
Kantan Games’ CEO, Dr. Serkan Toto, commented on this wave of enthusiasm by noting how shareholders seem pleased that earlier leaks regarding the Switch 2 were accurate and that Nintendo is opting for a trusted design approach for its next-gen console.
This surge in interest speaks volumes about what players want: an approachable yet dynamic gaming experience they can dive into together or alone. What features are you most excited about in the upcoming Switch? Let’s chat about our hopes and dreams for this new console!
