It is already “outpacing” the PS5 reveal
Following a surge of speculation and leaks, Nintendo this week unveiled its initial teaser for the Switch 2.
For anyone concerned about the company’s apparent lack of advertising or promotion leading up to this monumental announcement, it does not appear to have influenced the reveal – with the teaser still trending in the top spots on YouTube days later.
The Nintendo of America YouTube teaser has already amassed an impressive 18 million views in under 48 hours (outpacing the view count of the original Switch trailer during the same timeframe), while Nintendo’s Japanese version of the video has now reached seven million views. As VGC points out, this places it ahead of the PlayStation 5’s reveal in 2020, which garnered approximately 13 million views after two days.
As for the Switch 2 trailer on social networks, NoA’s post has accumulated over 40 million views on ‘X’, and the video shared by Nintendo’s Japanese account has exceeded 50 million views. A Bloomberg report indicates that Nintendo has about 20 million units prepared for release during the pivotal year of the Switch 2’s existence.
Nintendo will provide further details about the Switch 2 in the upcoming Direct broadcast on April 2nd, 2025.
