Nintendo Switch has been a huge success. The little one from Nintendo has become the second best-selling console of its generation, it has achieved widely exceed 100 million units sold, and despite already being 7 years old, he is living a second (or third) youth. Their sales attest to this, and it is that according to the latest information that we have sales forecasts for this quarter are around 19 million units.
The Japanese company is not willing to take its foot off the accelerator, and according to Bloomberg has decided to increase the production of Nintendo Switch being carried away by two great keys: the strong demand that still exists in the market for said console and the improvement of the situation of the production chain. In this sense, we must emphasize that the shortage of components seems a thing of the past, and that this would also have had a positive impact on the production costs of the Nintendo console.
It seems that Nintendo wants to make the most of the useful life of its console, and that Nintendo Switch 2, its successor, will not arrive before 2024. Even when the launch of this next-generation model occurs it is likely to coexist for a reasonable time with the original, something we’ve already seen on previous occasions, although it’s impossible to predict how long the big N will be willing to continue supporting Nintendo Switch when the second generation model arrives.
The truth is that Nintendo has reasons to increase the production of Nintendo Switch. We have already seen two of the most important ones, but we are still missing another one that is key and that could give this console a golden moment in the final stage of its life cycle, the upcoming release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomone of the most anticipated games of the moment and one of the most important Nintendo exclusives.
Some analysts are less favorable to this move by Nintendo, but they also thought that Nintendo Switch was going to be a failure because it was not at the level of PS4 in terms of power and look, in the end it has reached such a point that you could end up outselling it.
