Gamers must need to beware as Nintendo Switch 2 can go offline permanently if one uses Mig flash cartridge. To simplify the process, if a gamer pirates video games or decides to play the copy of a game, Nintendo will take punitive measures. Perpetrators will receive error code 2134-4508 which then leads to permanent banning of the gamers' consoles, The Verge reported. The Switch 2 has smashed records to become the fastest-selling console ever after gamers snapped up 3.5 million units in its first four days, Nintendo said earlier in June.

Mig cartridge is used as a handy tool for playing pirated video games.

The Japanese game giant said the Switch 2 had reached "the highest global sales level for any Nintendo hardware within the first four days". It also broke industry records, analysts said, beating the first Switch and Sony's PlayStation 5, which respectively sold 2.7 million and 3.4 million units in their first month. Featuring a bigger screen and more processing power, the console is an upgrade to the original Switch -- the third best-selling console of all time.

Nintendo forecasts it will sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles in the current financial year, roughly equal to the original in the same period after its release. But it will also need to convince enough people to pay the high price for its new device.
