As part of Nintendo's latest earnings report, the company disclosed plans for the original Switch now that the Switch 2 is in the market and putting up big sales numbers. The original Switch will continue to be sold, Nintendo confirmed, but the company will focus on the Switch 2 going ahead.
"While our business focus will shift to Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch has maintained a steady sales pace even after the June launch of its successor. While taking consumer demand and the business environment into consideration, we will continue sales of Nintendo Switch hardware," Nintendo said.
In total, Nintendo has sold 154.01 million Switch consoles worldwide through September 30, and that's just 10,000 units short of passing the DS to become Nintendo's best-selling platform of all time.
The Switch is still millions of units short of catching up to the PS2, which is the best-selling console of all time with an estimated 160 million units sold. At least one expert believes the Switch will not catch the PS2.
Earlier this year, Nintendo raised prices on the original Switch and a variety of accessories due in part to the impact of tariffs.
Looking ahead, Nintendo is predicting to sell fewer Switch consoles than before. For the current fiscal year, Nintendo is now expecting to sell 4 million units, down from a previous prediction of 4.5 million. However, Nintendo is revising Switch game sales up from 105 million to 125 million.
For the Switch 2, meanwhile, Nintendo is raising projections from 15 million to 19 million for the current fiscal year. The Switch 2 has sold more than 10 million units worldwide, making it the fastest-selling Nintendo platform ever over its first four months.
