Nintendo has suggested that the successor to the Switch will not arrive before March 31, 2025, indicating an April release at the very earliest.
In the Q&A transcript of this week’s earnings call — translated by GamesIndustry.biz — Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa told investors: “The sales forecasts for this period do not include sales of the Nintendo Switch successor device.”
Earlier this week, Nintendo’s full-year financials predicted a 20% drop in net sales for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 and hardware sales of 13.5 million units; it is this number that Furukawa says only applies to the current Switch models.
