It is definitely a softish launch. Ads have only started appearing the last week or two. Maybe they are having stock issues and want to avoid the drama that goes with that. I expect they will ramp up significantly by September/October.
Unless they have some research which suggests word of mouth is sufficient to carry this launch period...
They desperately want to knock the PS2 off the best-selling console throne. Not sure if they would sacrifice the launch of the SW2 to achieve that, but it is Nintendo...they are known for a series of idiotic decisions.

It almost feels like a soft launch.
I'll pick up my pre-order at launch
Part of me wonders if they're trying to lean into the extended cross-generation situation we saw in the PS5/XSeries launch? Keep em both on the shelves and make money in both directions.
