Nintendo sent out a warning regarding their upcoming console amid a surge in pre-orders for the hybrid system in Japan.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is generating enormous preorder interest in Japan, where the initial batch has sold out.

2.2 million people have applied to buy the new console in Japan so far, which ‘far exceeds’ Nintendo’s expectations. Shortages of the Switch 2 look increasingly likely after Nintendo admitted today that it “cannot fulfill” all of the preorder applications it has already received through its own Japanese store.
