Switch 2 Dev Kits Still Sound Somewhat Rare, Even 2 Months After Launch - Report

The article discusses the apparent scarcity of Nintendo Switch 2 development kits, even two months after the console's launch. According to reports, many developers, both big and small, are struggling to obtain these kits, with some being advised to release their games on the original Switch instead and rely on backwards compatibility. The article suggests that this could be a deliberate strategy by Nintendo to some degree, potentially discouraging Switch 2 development. The report also mentions that while some smaller developers have managed to secure kits, some larger AAA studios are still unable to acquire them. Despite the reported dev kit shortages, the Nintendo Switch 2 has already sold 6 million units, breaking home console sales records. The article also mentions the possibility of a Nintendo Direct event in mid-September, which could potentially provide more information on the console's development and future game releases.
