Nintendo Switch Sales Slide As Console Enters Its Eighth Year

The Nintendo Switch is entering its eighth year of existence, and while sales remain somewhat steady, overall sales of both hardware and software on the console declined year-on-year from fiscal year 2023 to 2024. That's according to a recent financial report from Nintendo, which broke down the company's performance on a number of levels.

As one slide of the presentation shows, sales of Nintendo Switch hardware declined by 12.6% year-on-year from 17.97 million to 15.70 million, driven primarily by a 37.1% decrease in the amount of vanilla Switches sold. However, the OLED Nintendo Switch slightly increased its sales by 1.1%. Software sales also declined from 213.96 million to 199.67 million, a decrease of 6.7%.

The lifetime sales for the Switch are 141.32 million consoles sold, along with 1.235 billion games sold.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Nintendo Direct Confirmed For June, But Don't Expect To See Switch 2

Nintendo has confirmed that it'll hold a June Nintendo Direct once again this year, but don't expect to see a teaser for the Switch 2 during this livestream. On X/Twitter, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed the showcase and how it'll be focused on titles arriving for the Switch in the latter half of 2024.

"We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation," Shuntaro posted.

While a look at the Switch successor is off the table, this Nintendo Direct will at least give owners of the current console a closer look at the games coming to the system. Currently, Nintendo's lineup includes remasters of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (May 23) and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (June 27), and April's Nintendo Indie World showcase had games like Steamworld Heist 2, Europa, and Antonblast confirmed to launch later in the year.Continue Reading at GameSpot
