With the publication of its recent financial results, Nintendo has made it clear how Nintendo Switch still represent thecentral element of the business of the company in the first part of 2024, with a increase in forecasts of sales and revenues and without making any mention of a possible new console, be it Nintendo Switch 2 or less.
In the report by Bloomberg, in particular, the fact emerges that president Shuntaro Furukawa has clearly reported that Nintendo Switch still represents Nintendo's “main business” in this first phase of 2024, but also adding that the plans for the next fiscal year (which includes part of 2024) are expected to be discussed during the next shareholder briefing.
This tells us, on the one hand, that Nintendo Switch isn't going anywhere at least for the foreseeable future, and that it continues to be the main object of Nintendo's business at the moment, in spite of the rumors about the next resignation of the console.
An opening on the new console?
However, the fact that next quarter's conference will shed light on the plans for the next fiscal year could also indicate the possible arrival of news: on the other hand, the alleged Nintendo Switch 2 or whatever the company's new console will be called could arrive inlast part of 2024probably in the autumn according to various rumors, so there would be plenty of time for a presentation and launch months later.
Meanwhile, sales and profit forecasts from Nintendo Switch have been increased, despite the console entering its seventh year of activity: from 15 million consoles sold in the fiscal year, the company is passed to 15.5 millionconsequently increasing revenues, operating profits and net income.
With the latest data we have seen that Nintendo Switch is now at 140 million consoles sold and is the best-selling console ever in Japan.
