Nintendo does not expect to launch any new or upgraded Switch hardware in the coming financial year, set to end on 31st March 2024.

The Switch has now passed its hardware sales peak, with console sales down 22 percent over the past 12 months. Nintendo forecasts a further fall over the coming year.And, perhaps more interestingly, Nintendo has now said this hardware shipment number will not include any brand-new Switch replacement, or a beefier Switch upgrade.

"There is still some life in the Switch platform yet," Harding-Rolls told Eurogamer."I expect the new Zelda to drive hardware sales to those upgrading from older versions to the latest OLED model and probably from some entirely new Switch buyers. That will help Nintendo reach its 15m shipment target for the year ending March '24. Software sales remain pretty robust especially for first-party titles.
