What are the chances that the Switch 2 will break PS2 1 million launch record in Japan? Will Nintendo be able to have over 1 million Switch 2 units ready for launch in Japan?

According to Chris, not really high. It all depends on how many units Nintendo has on hand.

The 380,000 units are preorders for two weeks later. They should not be counted as sales.

On March 6, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. announced that in the three days since the March 4 launch of the home video game console "PlayStation 2," 720,000 units had been produced and shipped, and that cumulative sales, including preorders through "PlayStation.com," had reached 980,000 units.

The breakdown is as follows: 600,000 units were sold through existing retail channels, and 380,000 units were preorders through "PlayStation.com," including those scheduled for two weeks later. It was also announced that 720,000 units had been produced and shipped by March 6.

Oh thanks a lot for clearing up the confusion.
 
How do we count pre order units that are received later due to lack of stock?

I mean, technically Nintendo could have sold 2.2m Switch 2 units in japan... just staggered and delivered over months.

I think they didn't sell 2.2M. It's just Lottery.
 
Keep in mind, MyNintendo is simply one of many distributors for the Switch 2 at launch, not to mention one with very stringent loyalty requirements. Even if Nintendo cannot fulfill 2.2m orders at launch, I'd argue the lottery figure is a good sign that there are at least 2m customers in Japan that are pretty dead set on buying the console day one
 
These levels of pre orders are reaching insane territory. Switch 2 launch numbers will be crazy if Nintendo have supply.
 
My question is if Nintendo is selling 500k+ through their online store..... How many are retailers gonna get? They can't leave them with nothing, but how much can they spare? If they wanted they could just keep fulfilling their MyNintendo preorders forever.
