Nintendo has committed any talk of a new console in its latest financial forecasts, instead insisting that theNintendo Switchhas plenty of life left in it yet.
“The Switch is different from past hardware,” said Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa during an earnings call (viaBloomberg).
“It has the ability to give rise to different kinds of new demand.”
This is not great news for those hoping to see aNintendo Switch 2or new console concept anytime soon. The upgraded profits forecast covers the company’s business operations until the end of its fiscal year 2024 – until the end of March, basically.
Of course, a new machine could still be announced later in the year. However, it cannot be denied that the Switch continues to exceed expectations for a console that’s more than six years old.
Nintendo claims that more than 132 million units have been sold worldwide since 2017. It expects a further 15 million to have been sold throughout this financial year.

The concept, which was actually criticised on its first release, has proved so popular that a number of PC-based handhelds are starting to carve their own niche in the market too. TheSteam Deckhas been particularly successful, while both theAsus ROG AllyandLenovo Legion Goare leading a charge for Windows 11-based machines.
A new NIntendo console will certainly have to offer something extra special to best its predecessor, so it makes sense that the Japanese gaming giant is in no rush to repeat old mistakes – remember the Wii U?
We’ll keep you up-to-date on any further developments, of course.
