Nintendo Switch 2 launch event live stream surpasses 2 million viewers in 10 minutes

Nintendo held a Switch 2 launch event on April 2, with viewership surpassing 2 million within the first 10 minutes of the live broadcast. To promote the new console, Nintendo will launch a global trial play event, expecting sales to reach 8 million units within three months after the Switch 2's release, doubling the sales of its predecessor. The new console has a similar appearance to the previous generation, upgraded to an 8-inch 1080P screen, features a magnetic design for the controllers, and includes a new Type-C port. Industry insiders point out that Nintendo needs to ensure sufficient supply of the new console to avoid repeating the stock shortages experienced with the Switch in 2017
