"Nintendo revealed earlier this week that it's already sold over 10 million units and is revising its forecast upwards for its first year. It's already the fastest-selling console at launch ever. Nintendo also revealed that the original Switch may still be on track to beat the PlayStation 2 as the best-selling console ever. Where does this leave the Mario maker and its plans for the future?"
"Furukawa told investors that the updated hardware is the "new standard for the Nintendo Switch concept" and that it will now shift its "primary development focus to Nintendo Switch 2 and expand our business around this new platform." While there are still a few first-party games coming to the old Switch, and third-party publishers are likely to support it for years to come due to the massive install base, Nintendo sounds like it's ready to move on."
Nintendo's Switch 2 has sold over 10 million units and prompted an upward revision of the first-year sales forecast. The console achieved the fastest-selling launch in history and the original Switch may still surpass the PlayStation 2 in lifetime sales. Nintendo will shift its primary development focus to Nintendo Switch 2 and expand business around the new platform. That shift implies fewer new first-party releases for the original Switch, though third-party support and continued production will persist while consumer demand remains. Nintendo plans to extend the platform strategy, including increased investment in movies.
