Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa earlier this year announced the Nintendo Switch successor will officially be announced in the current fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2025.
Furukawa in Nintendo's latest earnings call with investors said there is "no change" in the company's plans to announce the Switch 2 by the end of the fiscal year.
Nintendo's earnings report revealed Nintendo shipped 2.62 million Switch units and 39.64 million Switch games for the quarter ending September 30, 2024.
Lifetime shipment figures for the Switch are now at 146.04 million units, while 1,306.10 million Switch games have been shipped.
Nintendo did lower its forecast for the full fiscal year for the Switch by one million units to 12.50 million units. If Nintendo is able to hit its forecast, it would bring the lifetime shipment total for the Switch to 153.82 million units.
