The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 was delayed not due to technical problems, 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 compromising 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 first weekend, and the company's shares rose to an all-time high. Nintendo has once again proven its non-standard approach: not to chase technological fads, but to focus on the main thing — the enjoyment of games.
