With a nintendoswitch which was launched on the market six years ago (at least the original model), it is logical to think that the Big N of video games must be planning the marketing of its future console, however, the latest information we have obtained indicates that its launch It would take place, at the earliest, from April 2024.
The information has emerged from the publication of Nintendo’s results for the end of the fiscal year. Shuntaro Furukawa, president of the company, confirmed that there are no plans to launch a future console before the end of the current fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2024. From Nintendo they are aware that Switch’s seniority makes it difficult to keep up with sales, but even so their goal is to continue promoting their current device to make “more consumers continue to play Nintendo Switch longer, leading to maximize sales”.
The objective of continuing to promote Switch despite its seniority is in line with the statements made by Doug Bowser, president of Nintendo America, just a month ago. Bowser said that Switch still has “a few years of life ahead of it”, but it will be necessary to see if these statements do not have a certain component of pretending strength to prevent interest in the company’s products from falling suddenly. Here we cannot forget the convulsive economic situation in which we live, which turns the launch of new hardware into a risky sport that can lead to heavy losses.
Everything seems to indicate that Nintendo is not in a special hurry to launch a new console on the market, but the Great N of video games cannot live on Switch rents until the end of days, especially considering the limitations that hardware has at the time. current. About the future console, which from now on we will call Switch 2, there is conflicting information, with some pointing to a technological revolution and others that it will simply be an evolution of the original console.
Nintendo decided a few years ago to focus exclusively on handheld consoles, but adopting a hybrid arrangement. With this on the table, it is obvious that the future device will not compete at the power level with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S, but it is not that it needs to. This makes The interesting thing about technological evolution is not the raw power of the hardware or the generation to which it belongs, but the technologies that it will support. Here comes into play a DLSS that aims to be an added value and that it could help Switch 2 to be able to run more “powerful” video games, although with the usual cuts compared to “big” platforms.
Nintendo Switch has 2023 pretty much covered with powerful titles like Fire Emblem Engage, Metroid Prime Remastered and above all The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomthe next installment of the prestigious adventure saga that will be released on May 12, 2023 (Friday of this week).
The entry Nintendo Switch 2 will not see the light before April 2024 was first published on MuyComputer.
