In an interview with The Associated Press, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser was asked about the Switch’s successor and what he’d like to see. However, Bowser opted to discuss Nintendo’s current system and why the company still believes Switch has a bright future ahead.

According to Bowser, Switch sales remain “strong” with “a very strong lineup coming.” While Nintendo has nothing to announce about the future, the company is “still feeling very bullish” regarding its current platform. He added that “one of the reasons that even going into year seven we feel very confident that the Switch can have a strong performance over the next few years is that it is still truly that unique device that you can play in a variety of ways, at home, on the go.”

Bowser’s full comments can be found below.

As we enter the seventh year for the Nintendo Switch, sales are still strong. I think we still have a very very strong lineup coming. As Mr. Furukawa (Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa) said recently, we´re entering uncharted territory with the platform. It´s exciting to see that demand is still there. So nothing to announce on any future console or device, but we are still feeling very bullish about Nintendo Switch.

I should be careful about what I personally would like to see (in a new Switch). But what I can share is that one of the reasons that even going into year seven we feel very confident that the Switch can have a strong performance over the next few years is that it is still truly that unique device that you can play in a variety of ways, at home, on the go. One of the things we look at always is how can we surprise and delight. How can we introduce new unique ways of playing. That´s always in front of our mind.
