What should be revealed. With 139.36 million units sold as of December 31, 2023, hardware sales may be down, but for a console at the end of its life, the Switch is healthy, with more users playing than ever and Nintendo still selling bags. programs. For example, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe just surpassed 60 million units sold, Pokémon Scarlet & Violet overtook Gold & Silver to become the third best-selling Pokémon game, and the latest releases Zelda: Tears of the Empire and Super Mario Bros. exceeded 20 million and 10 million sales respectively (the latter in just two months).
We’re still changing 40 squillion copies every week, give or take – Photo: Damien McFerran / Nintendo Life So is this going to be ‘Switch 2’ and the flood of hardware rumors we’ve all been dealing with for months? It’s the same story every time the cycle comes to an end. How do you transition to the next generation without killing the golden goose? Well, it’s still the same as it was. Furukawa’s statement is correct, and on paper, it could be that way for the rest of the year – even if a successor is announced and installed in 2024. Producing enough units to meet demand is always difficult (just ask Sony and Microsoft), so even if, hypothetically, the contractor new one launched in October or November 2024, Nintendo may struggle to produce enough volume to surpass the OG Switch. Based on an estimate of the LCD display that is said to be compatible with the upcoming console, it is said that Nintendo wants to produce more than 10 million units by the end of March 2025. that we are not talking sell-through here (the number of consoles that have passed through the retail market and in the hands of paying customers ), Nintendo’s rumored manufacturing intentions, which Furukawa stated seem to be greatly reduced. Yes, apparently an off-the-shelf system with a large, well-known library is “big business” right now. ‘Switch 2’ may well be launched this year and the current console will remain the best seller this year. As you can see, the Nintendo exec is technically correct. The simple answers are the same for this course, especially if everyone wants to hear about the new heat. It’s the same story every time the cycle comes to an end: How do you transition to the next generation without killing the golden goose in the process?
The ‘third pillar’ my foot – Photo: Damien McFerran / Nintendo Life The strange experiment that was the Nintendo DS was known as the “third pillar” to accompany the handheld lines of the Game Boy – until its success made the GB obsolete. part of the third pillar was quickly forgotten. Nintendo shuffled its offerings from the Wii to the Wii U until the launch of the Switch became like a new game, with no predecessor or budget to worry about. The company is sounding cautious this time, with more to lose if ‘Change 2’ becomes ‘Change U.’ Furukawa has been concerned about the longevity of the Switch many times in the past, but as the hardware army approaches its eighth year, many and varied rumors clearly indicate that there is a great appetite for new hardware from players and Nintendo investors. We’re waiting for the official release of the Q&A host to find out, though we doubt if Furukawa will be able to get through any more results in the three months running on the OG Switch fuse. Most importantly, there is nothing in the new statement to indicate that we will not be getting new news about Nintendo hardware in 2024. This is a high-quality, third-party review to give encouragement and avoid saying anything to damage the marketing system that is being planned. and tweaked to perfection before releasing his amazing ‘Switch 2’ mod. (Please, just reveal the name already – our one-word key needs a break!) So, for those of you who want to hear more about the fantasy sequel, save the Yellow Alert. And those of you who are tired of rumors and lies? Keep the shields up.
