This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.

Adults buying it for themselves have gotten it already. Purchases for children will be around Christmas. Any big announcements or trailers will catch the attention of parents and family that don't follow rumours.

Enthusiast will buy early, but they don't make up long term console sales and non release game sales.
