Nintendo Believes Successor Announcement Will Have "Zero Impact" On Switch Sales

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa discussed the potential impact of announcing a successor to the Nintendo Switch on its current sales. Despite acknowledging the challenge of maintaining sales momentum, Furukawa remains optimistic, citing strong sales during the last holiday season and the potential boost from new game releases and the popularity of "The Super Mario Bros. Movie." Nintendo aims to sell an additional 13.5 million Switch units in FY2025, even as it acknowledges that the announcement of a new console could influence current Switch sales dynamics.
