If you were expecting to hear more about Nintendo’s next console, which has been dubbed ‘Switch 2’, during today’s latest financial report from the company, I am sorry I am going to have to disappoint you. The company has made no new announcements regarding its Switch successor.
It does still plan to share more on its next console before the end of this fiscal year, however. That all remains the same.
Following the release of the company’s latest earnings report, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa affirmed the next console will be announced by the end of March, 2025.
It seems unlikely that this announcement will happen before the end of the calendar year, however. According to Toyo Securities analyst Hideki Yasuda, making a new console announcement before January “has gotten quite difficult” for Nintendo, he told Reuters. “You would not want to divert attention to an upcoming console in the middle of the critical year-end shopping season,” Yasuda reasoned.
