London-based video game analytic firm Ampere Analysis has told The Game Business that it fully expects that Nintendo will shift more Nintendo Switch 2 consoles this year than the entire PC gaming handheld landscape has sold in its lifetime. The analytics firm is expecting the Nintendo Switch 2 to be a big hit with consumers when it launches worldwide tomorrow.

Leading analyst firm Ampere says more Switch 2 consoles will be sold this year than the PC gaming handheld landscape has sold in its entirety. It says that while 56% of Steam Deck owners use a Switch, only 1.3% of Switch owners consider Steam Deck to be their primary console.
