Nintendo Switch 2 Was Ready Long Ago, But Release Was Postponed Due to Games
The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 was delayed not due to technical issues, but due to a conscious decision by the company from Kyoto.
The main goal is to give developers more time to refine the games in the starting lineup. According to a new report, the console was fully ready for release, but Nintendo chose quality over haste, even if it disappointed fans and partners who have been waiting for the device for years. The company's philosophy is simple: it's better to wait than to risk a weak start.
The key projects for launch were Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza — their presence ensured the first impression on the audience. Nintendo was able to withstand the delay thanks to traditional financial prudence: unlike other Japanese companies, it has large cash reserves, which allowed it to cover expenses without harming dividends and long-term strategy.
The move proved successful. Despite criticism that the Switch 2 is only a moderate improvement, the console showed record sales in its opening weekend, and the company's stock rose to an all-time high. Nintendo has once again proven its unconventional approach: not chasing technological fads, but concentrating on the main thing — the enjoyment of games.
