Nintendo Switch, whose strategy was mapped out by former chief Iwata, is soon passing baton as Nintendo said it will announce next-gen hardware this FY. Analysts expect its launch in spring next year. Can Furukawa make next-gen successful? we'll see. www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-07/nintendo-braces-for-profit-decline-while-users-await-next-switch?srnd=undefined

The successor to the Nintendo Switch will be announced by Nintendo this fiscal year, before April 1, 2025. Nintendo will also host a Nintendo Direct in June, which will not include the new system, but focus on Switch games for the back-half of 2024. pic.twitter.com/RxIUJKqpHn

I will be on TV to discuss Nintendo earnings in 1 hour (11:30am Japan time, 10:30pm ET) live @CNBCi (program: @StreetSignsCNBC).

Nintendo still expects 13.5M in sales for the Switch this fiscal - that late in its lifecycle. (Wii U sold 13.56M in its entire lifecycle.) The Switch is at 141M now, will sell even next year and is poised to pass the PS2 as the best selling console of all time (155M units).
