Nintendo Switch 2 Drives Global Demand for microSD Express Cards
Nintendo's latest console, the Switch 2, has sparked a global surge in demand for a new type of memory card: microSD Express. This has left retailers, particularly in Japan, struggling to keep up with the high demand. Nintendo's strategic move to use these cards promises enhanced gaming performance.
The Switch 2's requirement for microSD Express cards has led to a worldwide shortage. These cards, which offer faster data transfer speeds and lower power consumption than conventional microSD cards, are now in high demand. In Europe, buyers can secure a 256GB limited edition microSD Express card through an invitation system, with SanDisk offering the first closed package for pre-orders.
Nintendo's decision to adopt microSD Express could have far-reaching implications for the entire memory card market. It may encourage updates and set new standards, as most buyers appear to be legitimate end-users purchasing for personal use.
The Nintendo Switch 2's use of microSD Express cards has created a global demand surge, with retailers struggling to meet the high demand. While European buyers can secure limited edition cards through an invitation system, the long-term impact on the memory card market remains to be seen.
