Nintendo's President Apparently Wants Switch 2 To Match The Long Lifespan Of The Original System

Nintendo says it wants Switch 2 to enjoy a long lifecycle like the original Switch, with steady growth in users and software sales.

President Shuntaro Furukawa said the company aims to build momentum gradually rather than chase a short launch boom.

The strategy mirrors the Switch era, powered by evergreen hits such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Switch 2 has sold nearly 20 million units so far, even as Nintendo has raised the system’s price globally amid changing market conditions.
