Nintendo has revealed its intention to unveil the successor to its popular Switch console by March 2025. The announcement was made by Shuntaro Furukawa, the company's president, who stated that they would provide details about the new console within the current fiscal year. This news comes after over nine years since the original Nintendo Switch was announced back in March 2015.
Fans of the Nintendo Switch have long awaited news of a potential successor, as the company has kept details under wraps until now. Recent sales figures have shown a decline, with Nintendo projecting to sell 13.5 million Switch units in the current financial year, down from 15.7 million units sold last year.
Nintendo has a history of innovation in both console and game development, with the Switch being one of its most successful products. Launched in 2017, the Switch gained popularity for its unique portability feature, allowing users to seamlessly switch between playing on a TV and on the go.
While competitors like Playstation and Xbox focused on stationary consoles with high-end graphics, Nintendo took a different approach with the handheld Switch. Despite its lower graphic performance compared to rivals, the Switch's appeal lies in its diverse library of entertaining and family-friendly games.
Since its launch, the Switch has seen minimal changes in its development, with three main models available to consumers. These include the Nintendo Switch OLED with its immersive screen, the standard Nintendo Switch with its hybrid design, and the smaller, more affordable Nintendo Switch Lite designed for on-the-go gaming.
