During the release of its most recent fiscal report, Nintendo confirmed several information that were already somewhat predictable. In addition to reaffirming that the Switch remains popular, but is experiencing a decline in sales, the company reinforced that has not changed its plans for the announcement of its next console.
According to the developer’s president, Shuntaro Furukawa, the device currently known as “Switch 2” will be publicly presented before the end of the current fiscal year. In other words, the company has until the end of March 2025 to reveal to fans and the market what it plans for its new hardware.
However, what seems to have changed internally is the date on which the new device can be presented. While many analysts bet that this could have happened as early as October, in recent months the company preferred to make room for new products such as the Alarmo watch and its Nintendo Music streaming system.
Nintendo Switch 2 may only receive news in 2025
For analyst Hideki Yasuda, from Toyo Securities, it seems increasingly certain that any news about the Nintendo Switch 2 should only be presented in 2025. As he told Reuters, an announcement made this year could be harmful to the companyresulting in a steeper drop in sales of Switch hardware and software during the holiday season.
The first time the manufacturer publicly acknowledged that it was working on new hardware was in May of this year. At the time, Furukawa simply stated that the new feature is being prepared, but did not reveal any details about its features or a possible price.
According to the company, the current version of the Nintendo Switch has already sold 146 million units around the world, making it one of the biggest successes in its history. Because of this, it is treating the development of its successor with care, especially because the memory of the Wii U’s failure must still be fresh in the minds of its employees.
