A new rumor has sparked excitement in the gaming community, suggesting that 380,000 units of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 have already been shipped to the United States. This speculation has fueled expectations that an official reveal could be coming sooner than expected.
Leaked Shipment Details
According to industry insiders, a large batch of Switch 2 consoles has reportedly left manufacturing hubs and is now en route to the US. While Nintendo has yet to confirm these claims, past leaks have hinted at a potential release window for late 2025.
So, it finally happened. HVBG exported 383,000 units of the completed console set between January 17th and January 22nd. They were all shipped to the US, and all were of the USZ (US/Canada) region code. 41,598 units of the charging grip were also shipped to the US, confirming that HGU0620 is the charging grip with a product code of BEE-A-ESSKA, which matches the Switch 1 charging grip’s HAC-A-ESSKA.
383k is a decent-sized shipment, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the numbers increase. HVBG had received 1.2 million units of one-per-system parts like the SoC and screen as of December, and 1.7 million as of January, and we can expect 100% of those to end up in units shipped to the US.
One thing we can learn from the shipments is that the console set is not a bundle.
