Nintendo says maintaining Switch momentum will be tough, no new hardware this fiscal year
The Switch is heading into its seventh year on the market, and it’s no surprise to see hardware sales slowing considerably. That said, don’t expect Nintendo to release new hardware anytime soon.
Following Nintendo’s Fiscal Year 2023 results, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa talked about the tough road ahead when it comes to moving more Switch units. As we shared earlier, the company plans to see another 15 million Switch units sold in Fiscal Year 2024, but it’s not going to be easy. Mr. Furukawa shared the following comments with Bloomberg.
Along with that, Mr. Furukawa noted that no new hardware is planned to release this Fiscal Year, which takes us all the way up to March 2024. In other words, for the next 10+ months, don’t expect Nintendo to release the Switch’s successor or an upgraded Switch model.
