There would be no new Switch model, but an entirely new generation.
With the launch of the OLED model Nintendo Switch, rumors about the successor of the Nintendo console calmed down somewhat, but it is once again the protagonist after a new report that places the new generation of Nintendo around 2024. There would be no other type of hardware release in the future, go ahead.
Piers Harding-Rolls, one of the Ampere analysts, suggests that this year Nintendo Switch will sell less than in previous occasions, but it will once again be a sales success thanks to the OLED model and the launch of important games such as Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which would translate to around 21 million consoles sold. But the thing is not there, since Nintendo would be preparing the launch of the successor to Nintendo Switch for the next 2024.
“Currently, I expect the year-over-year performance of the console market to be fairly flat in 2022 as Switch sales decrease and let’s get out of what has been an amazing couple of years for console games, “says Harding-Rolls ((via Gamesindustry). “Even so, the Nintendo Switch family of devices will once again be the best-selling console in 2022 with around 21 million sold to consumers, with the help of the OLED Switch launch. I don’t expect a Switch Pro in 2022. We have a next-gen Nintendo console in our forecast for late 2024, so I’m not convinced a ‘Pro’ model is going to appear. “
It is expected that Nintendo Switch OLED model is also affected in one way or another by the shortage of raw materials and semiconductors, so its supply is damaged. We will see if it manages to respond to the demand for consoles that follows the launch of such important games as Pokémon Legends: Arceus or Kirby and the forgotten land, Splatoon 3 and Breath of the Wild 2, all of them scheduled for 2022.
