Regardless of your opinion on the Nintendo Switch, its impact as a massive success for the Japanese company is undeniable. Since its launch in 2017, the console has expanded into several models and achieved remarkable sales, becoming the third best-selling console of all time with over 125 million units sold. However, approaching its seventh anniversary in 2024, it’s evident that the Switch doesn’t match the raw performance of competitors like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S. Thus, 2024 appears poised for Nintendo to unveil its next-generation console.
Significant indicators suggest a successor to the Switch is on track for a 2024 release. Development kits have reportedly been distributed to studios, although sources anticipate a launch towards the year’s end to ensure ample production to meet demand.
Nintendo remains characteristically tight-lipped about details surrounding their upcoming hardware. While specifics are scarce, it’s expected the new console will maintain the hybrid nature, supporting both television and handheld modes. Reports also hint at an LCD screen and a continuation of game cartridges as the preferred medium.
