Next-Gen Nintendo Console Coming Late 2024, Report Says

gamespot.com:

A new report has shed more light on the video game industry landscape as it relates to the overall size and health of the market, and in particular, it claims the PlayStation 5 is expected to increase its lead over the Xbox Series X|S in the time to come. The report also suggests the next Nintendo hardware platform will launch in 2024.

Ampere Analysis said in a note that PlayStation 5 has reached 30 million units sold as of the end of 2022, compared to 18.5 million for the Xbox Series X|S. Sony publishes new PS5 sales figures every three months, but Microsoft no longer shares Xbox sales numbers, so it's unclear where, exactly, Ampere is getting its information from beyond its own estimates.

However, PS5 supply has since rebounded significantly, and because of this, Ampere said it expects the gap between PS5 and Xbox Series X|S sales to widen in the first half of 2023.

Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S aren't anywhere close to the Nintendo Switch, which sold more than 122.5 million units as of December 31, 2022. The report went on to say that a next-generation Nintendo console will launch «towards the end of 2024,» but that's all it had to say.

There have been rumors of a more powerful Switch
