As of March 3, Nintendo's portable console will already be celebrating its five years on the video game market. If there was a question of a Pro model, it is finally a version OLED switch who came to give beautiful colors to the last machine of the Japanese manufacturer while waiting for the next project.
Be that as it may, despite the months of shortage and those to come, Nintendo's hybrid console is doing like a charm and has even managed to outsell the Wii quite recently.
See you in 2027 for the next console?
With such figures, it would be surprising to see Nintendo already scrapping its little protegee, which continues to sell like hot cakes and which has welcomed, and which will continue in the months to come, a nice list of highly successful games. In short, we more or less suspect it, but the Switch still has a bright future ahead of it.
During a recent meeting in the presence of the director and president of Nintendo, Shuntaro Furukawa, the future of the handheld console was discussed and, as expected, Big N is not about to drop it according to the about the president. According to him, the Switch has reached halfway through its life cycle, with very strong sales growth in recent years.
Currently, these are three models that allow the Switch to find its audience and more than 100 million units have thus been distributed throughout the world. Given the announcements during the recent Nintendo Direct and the Switch games to expect in the coming years, we understand that the Switch is still at the heart of Nintendo's strategy.
For the moment, and still according to Shuntaro Furukawa, the company is not in a position to comment on the next game console, even if the company is thinking a lot about the subject. However, we will have to wait a while longer and it will depend on how Nintendo intends to offer players "a new form of entertainment".
