Furukawa said that Nintendo's goal is make the Switch 2 very popular. "The launch of Switch 2 and the early spread of the hardware are our top priorities," he said. With that will come an increase in marketing expenses, which Nintendo expects to make by selling more software (games).

The Nintendo Switch 2 bundle costs £520, and comes with a spare set of JoyCons and a Camera for the console's new GameChat function. Needless to say, the products are in demand and selling fast, so you'll need to hurry if you want to secure a pre-order ahead of the console's June 5 launch.

Nintendo is gearing up to release its next big console, the Switch 2, into the marketplace. But how did they determine its release date?
