However, the presentation is not on the program for the direct edition planned for June. A concrete release date for the Switch 2 does not exist yet either. But the evidence is increasing that it appears that they are until spring 2025 should be available.
Violent crash at Nintendo
The actually great mood at Nintendo in view of the Switch 2 report is currently being criticized by some significantly fewer positive numbers at least somewhat clouded. The Japanese company has: the current business figures are publishedwhere both the hardware and the software the first Switch console be in focus. These paint a rather bleak picture.
According to the annual report, Nintendo was able to do so in the last quarter around 1.96 million copies the switch sell, in the past fiscal year there were a total of 15.7 million. That means at the same time a decline of 12.6 percent compared to the same period last year, so the Switch is in decline.

Software is also going down: sales of Nintendo games fell by 6.7 percent compared to the previous year. All of this can be interpreted as a sign that the life cycle of the first Switch is slowly but surely coming to an end.
