While Nintendo is preparing to reveal more details about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console, rumours have emerged that the company has already started shipping devices to North America. According to a post on the Famiboards forum by user LiC, about 383 thousand units were shipped between 17 and 22 January.

Here's What We Know

According to the information, the consoles have the USZ regional code, which indicates that they are sold in the US and Canada. In addition to the console itself, accessories are also supplied, including a charging station with the BEE-A-ESSKA code, which corresponds to the accessory coding scheme for the first generation Switch.

The Switch 2 is likely to be produced at the facilities of HVBG, a Vietnamese company that assembles devices using components from various suppliers, including displays, buttons, and motherboards.

According to rumours, the company received 1.2 million units of processors and screens back in December, and another 1.7 million in January, which may indicate Nintendo's intentions to avoid a shortage of consoles at the start of sales.
