Nintendo believes Switch hardware sales still have room to grow

Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 0 comments

Switch is no spring chicken anymore as it’s coming up on its sixth anniversary. Simply because of its age, one would expect sales to begin trickling off.

Nintendo president Shuntaru Furukawa did acknowledge that Switch is entering “uncharted territory in the history of our dedicated video game platforms” during the company’s latest financial briefing. However, he still believes there’s room for sales to grow given “both new demand and multiple system demand for the hardware”. Nintendo will be looking to create new demand with new games plus “working further to convey the appeal of existing titles.”

Furukawa acknowledged that to be the case, explaining that various factors contributed “such as the absence of sizable growth in sales of evergreen titles, particularly during the third quarter (October-December).” Japan saw a boost with Splatoon 3 and Pokemon Scarlet / Violet. Europe saw Nintendo Switch Sports and Mario Strikers: Battle League sales increase last holiday. Finally, Pokemon did very well in Asia.
