Summary
- Reportedly, a new survey sent by Sony to PlayStation users is attempting to better understand players’ thoughts on the recently revealed Nintendo Switch 2.
- Perhaps most interestingly, the survey is asking players for their thoughts on how Nintendo is handling Switch 2 preorders.
- In order to order directly from Nintendo, a player must have been subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online for 12 consecutive months, plus have, at minimum, 50 hours of playtime on their original Switch.
Earlier this week, Nintendo finally opened the floodgates by revealing the Nintendo Switch 2 in full, including further details about its price, the games that will launch alongside the console and some of its features, among other elements.

Naturally, fans have a lot of thoughts on the Switch 2, specifically about its price. Apparently, Sony wants to garner some of that feedback, as the company has reportedly sent out a survey to PlayStation users, asking for their thoughts on the upcoming console.
Be Sure To Check Your Emails
As first reported on by MP1st and as shared originally by Twitter user and gaming insider, eXtas1s, a new survey is trying to better understand how fans feel about the Switch 2.
The five-question survey asks users how interested they are in purchasing the Switch 2, the aspects that most interest them about the console and the motivating factors that would push them to purchase one.
Perhaps most interesting is the final question, which asks users: “What do you think about the Switch 2 pre-order approach?”
For those unaware, Nintendo is requiring that fans first register their interest in purchasing a Switch 2. From there, those who’ve had a Nintendo Switch Online membership for 12 consecutive months, plus at least 50 hours of gameplay on their original Switch, will be given priority consideration.
It’s a rather unique approach, one that will no doubt prevent scalpers from scooping up whatever supply is available. At the same time, though, it does penalize those who do not have a NSO membership, but have exceeded the amount of hours of playtime required. Ultimately, whether Sony wants to potentially implement something similar whenever the next PlayStation releases, or whether the company is simply trying to better understand consumer behavior, remains to be seen.
