Nintendo wants 'one Switch for every person' and won't tease next console

radiotimes.com:

Nintendo keeps its secrets close. As the revenue keeps pouring in from Switch sales, the iconic hardware company is today refusing to tease the heavily rumoured next-gen Switch 2 console.

Instead, execs are hoping to keep selling more Switch consoles, even in households that already have one.

The Nintendo Switch launched in 2017 and it’s fast approaching what would typically be considered its end-of-life as a current-gen product by console standards.

For comparison: the PS4 launched in 2013 with its successor coming seven years later in 2022, as was the case with Microsoft’s Xbox.

Seeing as it’s nearing the end of the road, there are great Nintendo Switch deals to be had. So that's a positive for you!

You would expect, then, something, anything in the way of a teaser, announcement or reveal. But really, why would they?

From a business perspective, it makes complete sense, as showing its hand and revealing what’s to come might disincentivise consumers from buying a Switch in the here and now. With sales being as good as they are, Nintendo will likely wait until the absolute last moment.
