Nintendo acknowledges in a new financial highlights report that its Switch sales are currently underperforming, but president Shuntaro Furukawa insists the company will continue to sell the 2017 console as long as there's anyone out there to buy it.

"Going forward, we will continue to release new offerings so even more consumers keep playing Nintendo Switch."
