Sales and Production

• 📊 Selling 20 million units in the first year, especially if the Switch 2 launches halfway through the year, would be an unprecedented level of sales.
• 📈 The host believes that even if the Switch 2 doesn't sell as much as expected, the fact that Nintendo is producing that many units suggests a tremendous amount of confidence in the console's success.
• 📊 The host notes that manufacturing and demand are crucial factors, and if the demand is not as high as expected, it could result in a surplus of units and negatively impact the company's stock prices.

Games and Pricing

• 🎮 The host expects the Switch 2 to have a good first year, with games like Mario Kart and 3D Mario likely to be released within the first year.
• 💸 The host speculates that the price of the Switch 2 will likely be around $400, which is considered a reasonable price point, and that Nintendo has likely learned from past mistakes, such as the overpriced 3DS launch.
