Nintendo has lowered its sales projections for Switch hardware and software, as the company faces one final Christmas focused on its current, aging platform.
Everybody knows the new console is coming and some are saying it’s already being manufactured. They could just announce it already. The Switch is a great console, but it’s no secret it’s basically at EOL and after 7 years on the market it’s sold about as many new units as it’s going to.
Nintendo is estimating that about 12.5 million Switches will be sold in 2024. Previously, Nintendo predicted that the Switch would sell 13.5 million for the year. That means that the demand for the Switch is dropping off a bit faster than they expected but it is still selling.

They could, but probably won’t before the holidays, or even soon after.
It still leeps selling well as it is and people keep buying it. They sure should be in no hurry.
