"Nintendo is stepping further away from its original Switch console, with the company now planning to dedicate most of its attention to its successor. In a financial results briefing on Wednesday, Nintendo said that "going forward, we will shift our primary development focus to Nintendo Switch 2 and expand our business around this new platform." The Switch won't be retired immediately, but the wheels are now in motion, and we'll probably start seeing fewer games released for the older platform."
"More than 10.36 million Switch 2 consoles have been sold since it launched in June, 84 percent of which were purchased by people transitioning from the original Switch, according to Nintendo. That's just a fraction of the 154.01 million lifetime sales for the Switch, but Nintendo says it's seeing a uniform migration to the new platform."
Nintendo will shift primary development focus to Nintendo Switch 2 and expand business around the new platform. The original Switch will not be retired immediately, but future first-party releases are likely to decline as development priorities move. Nintendo will continue selling Switch hardware while considering consumer demand and the business environment, and several major Switch titles remain scheduled from October onward. Since the Switch 2 launch in June, more than 10.36 million units have sold, with 84 percent purchased by owners transitioning from the original Switch. The original Switch has 154.01 million lifetime sales, and migration to the new platform appears uniform.
