Although at the moment there is no official information related to the successor of the nintendo switch, during the last few months several reports have been released that provide a positive outlook for this new hardware. Now, it recently became known that The Switch 2 could produce more than 10 million units in its first year on the market.
According to Takashi Mochizuki, a Bloomberg journalist, a market analysis has indicated that Nintendo would be thinking of producing up to 10 million pieces of the Switch successor during its first fiscal year in the market. This would not be a big problem, since, unlike the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S which faced a series of problems during the pandemic, the production outlook is much more favorable.
Display shipment data suggest Nintendo would make 10M+ of next-gen console in initial FY. Unlike PS5 and XSX/S that faced chip shortages at launch, Nintendo's would be much easier to find at stores. And about OLED version, Omdia says not “for this year.”https://t.co/7SnKeoZOtU

Although we only talk about units in production, this is a small number. In comparison, during its first year, the Switch sold 13.2 million units, so production was much higher during that period. Thus, This could indicate that the Big N does not expect its next console to sell more than 10 million units in its first 12 months.
Along with this, Mochizuki pointed out that an OLED model of the Switch's successor would not arrive during its first year on the market, although it would be available in the future. Unfortunately, and as has happened in recent months, Nintendo has not provided any comment on the matter.so at the moment it is unknown for sure what the company's plans and expectations will be for this new piece of hardware.
Let us remember that previous reports have indicated that the console will have a power similar to that of a PlayStation 4, and maintain the hybrid format. With this, The console is expected to have an eight-inch screen, although it will simply be LCDand not OLED as many would like, at least for the moment.
We can only wait for Nintendo to share some type of information, something that, according to several reports, It would happen during the first half of this year. On related topics, GameCube games would come to Switch Online. Likewise, you can learn more about the screen of the new console here.
Editor's Note:
Nintendo has a complicated task in front of them. They have to sell a new console in a way that makes it clear that this is a new product, but that it is in line with the Switch. They already failed with this during the Wii U generation, so I hope they have learned so that the 10 million units produced in the first year are sold.
