Nintendo sent 383,000 units from Vietnam to the US in January and over 700,000 units in February. The shipments are bound to increase as Trump pauses most of his 'reciprocal tariffs.'

Editor's Note (April 4, 2025): We've updated this piece to reflect the fact that Nintendo has announced that it will delay its plans to start taking pre-orders for the Switch 2 in light of the trade tariffs set by the U.S. this week.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is functionally similar to its predecessor. Sure, the detachable controllers can now each be used as a mouse (on your pants, no less), the screen is bigger, the hardware is more powerful and there's a built-in mic for voice chat.
