Nintendo falls between his eight-year console Switch and Switch 2 of the next generation-cleaning, which usually affects sales. Of course, the company announced Currently, only 11 million consoles are expected to sell in this financial year instead of 12.5 million, which he initially predicted. This is in the light of a rather gloomy festive period, in which sales and profits fell in the third year, and consumers probably expect Switch 2 launch Someday next year, instead of buying a current chronic version.
The company also could not maintain a sales impulse in new games, since revenue in this area decreased by 24.4 percent compared to the same three -month period last year.

This disclosure will be made on a special Nintendo Direct Event And they will follow the events of the first experience in cities around the world. The first of them will be held in New York and Paris from April 4 to April 6, and will follow more than the city throughout North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia. The company still spoke little about the new model, except that it will be backward compatible with the current Switch games.
Until now, Nintendo investors have not been too worried about falling sales due to large expectations from Switch 2. However, Nintendo would have to convince customers that its next generation console is a significant update compared to the current switch, make sure that it has enough promotions are available to satisfy to satisfy Demands and save the current Switch owners are satisfied.
This is not an easy job, given that Nintendo sold 150.86 million units from the moment of launch and can boast of 129 million users annually. The Switch should become the best -selling Nintendo console at the end of this year, when it passes the Nintendo DS, which has a 154.02 million units sales record.
