Earlier today, Nintendo issued an apology when interest in the Japanese preorder far exceeded the available supply. In Japan alone, Nintendo said that 2.2 million people applied to preorder the Switch 2 from the My Nintendo Store lottery. That doesn't bode well for American gamers, unfortunately.

The Nintendo Switch 2, which sold out its preorders the first day they were available, will come out June 5 with a $449.99 price tag.

Analysts at JPMorgan said it expects Nintendo to sell 18 million Switch 2 consoles on an annual basis.
