The Nintendo Switch 2 has been the talk of the town recently, with new leaks showcasing 3D mockups and speculation about its specs. But the truth is: despite all the hype, nothing is official, not even the name of the console. The company has yet to drop concrete information about the device, aside from confirming backward compatibility.
Yet in a move that can only be described as bold and ambitious, there are already predictions that the Switch 2 will dominate the console market upon its release, potentially outpacing Sony and Microsoft by 2028. Sure, the excitement is contagious, but hasn’t history taught us anything? Let’s hold our horses and wait for the official release first.
Nintendo Switch 2 fans need to calmly assess the situation
Recently, the leaks about the Switch 2 have been coming fast and furious.From leaks about its price and specificationsto mockups of what the console will look like, the community has no shortage of information. However, none of these details have been confirmed and should be taken with a grain of salt.
With no official word, everything is considered pure speculation. Despite this, there are already projected sales for the console, claiming it will not only dominate the market with millions of units sold in its first years, but by 2028, it will easily surpass Sony and Microsoft, with their next-gen consoles failing to increase their market share.
Switch 2 Is Nintendo’s Worst Kept Secret as Youtuber All but Confirms Major Features From Mockup
Naturally, some fans aren’t buying into the hype just yet. Instead, they are poking fun at the speculative nature of these sales projections. They’ve seen this story before. When the original Switch was first announced, many were skeptical about its ability to compete with the likes of PS and Xbox, but it turned out to be a massive success and it’s still going strong today.
While it’s common to see speculative numbers about consoles before their release, straight-up predicting that the handheld will outpace the competition and leave them in the dust is a very, very ambitious claim.
The PlayStation 6 and next-gen Xbox consoles aren’t even on the radar yet, so let’s wait and see how the Switch 2 performs first before getting ahead of ourselves.
Leaks are slowly evolving, the reveal may be near
As we approach the end of the year, there has been a noticeable shift in leaks. Initially, they were just rumors and speculations about the hardware and software capabilities of the Switch 2. But now, some leaks are showcasing what seems to be the 3D mockup of the console itself.

What once seemed like plausible theories are slowly transforming into reality,just like that extra button on the right Joy-Con, better screen, etc. All these developments are signaling one thing: the company might be getting ready to drop some official details soon.
Even though fans are skeptical about the projected numbers, the company should take a cautious approach as well. As in the past, companies that have been swept up in the hype fail to capitalize, true success comes from a well-executed launch.
In the end, fans have yet another thing to add to their collection of leaks, rumors, and speculation, while waiting for the official announcement and hoping it is very soon.
