Nintendo befinder sig i et sjovt paradoks, hvor fans higer efter ny hardware, men hvor selvsamme hardware stadig går som varmt brød, og sætter millioner af solgte konsoller til hvert eneste kvartal.
I en nylig Q&A med firmaets investorer anerkender Nintendo den her usikkerhed, og slår fast at vi nu går ind i en lidt mere ukendt periode for Switch. Dog vil de samtidig gerne afsløre, at der fortsat gives grønt lys til nye Switch-spil, så ny hardware er ikke lige om hjørnet.
"Nintendo Switch is coming up on its seventh year of sales in March, and we see this as uncharted territory in the history of our dedicated video game platforms. Under these circumstances it is hard to imagine that hardware sales will continue to grow at the same pace they have to date. However, there are titles under development for Nintendo Switch, and new titles will continue to be proposed going forward. We are seeing both new demand and multiple system demand for the hardware, so we think there is still room for growth in sales."
Det forventes at Nintendo lancerer ny hardware næste år.
