Nintendo Believes That the Switch Is In the Middle of Its Life Cycle
Switch is now Nintendo’s best-selling console of all time, as it has officially surpassed Wii sales (with 103.53 million units sold). But even though Switch is in its fifth year, it does not sound like we will have a successor in the near future.
During Nintendo’s quarterly report earlier today, President Shuntaro Furukawa said that the console is still only in the middle of its life cycle:
“Switch is just in the middle of its lifecycle and the momentum going into this year is good. The Switch is ready to break a pattern of our past consoles that saw momentum weakening in their sixth year on the market and grow further.”
Nintendo also added that they also suffer from the lack of semiconductors and that they will therefore not be able to produce as many Switch devices as they had hoped for:
“The outlook for semiconductors and other components has remained uncertain since the start of this fiscal year and distribution delays remain unresolved, so production and logistics continue to be impacted.”
