Recently, Nintendo released its annual financial report for the fiscal year 2021-2022, in which the data showed that the sales volume of switch hosts reached 170 million, becoming the seventh host with a sales volume of more than 100 million in the world Today, famous analyst piers Harding rolls speculated on the subsequent sales of switch and the release time of switch 2 according to the financial report
Piers believes that as a six-year-old host, at present, the sales volume of switch has reached the peak. In the follow-up, even if there are heavy new works such as the legend of Zelda: interest in the wilderness 2, it is difficult to avoid the trend of gradual decline in sales volume**
In fact, compared with the sales volume of 28.83 million units in fiscal year 2021, the sales volume of 23.06 million units in fiscal year 2022 also decreased by 20%, which proves this speculation.
Combined with the current downward trend of switch host sales, as well as Nintendo's host iteration law and executive speeches, piers believes that the new host is expected to be released around 2024**
However, although we all call the subsequent model of switch "switch 2" in fact, Nintendo has not determined whether to follow the design of switch on the new model**
But it is certain that Nintendo will minimize the separation between the new host and the switch, which can be confirmed by the official statement in the previous investor Q & A.
In this Q & A, the official said that it would build a long-term relationship with users as much as possible to ensure that more than 100 million swich can smoothly transition to new host hardware.
