At present, there are various indications that Nintendo is likely to launch a new generation of Switch 2 (tentative name) in the second half of 2024, and the Switch battery life enhancement version and Switch OLED on sale are basically only 1500-1800. For players who want to experience exclusive games like Zelda, Kinemori, Pokémon, etc., the Switch is one of the few options.
Although the Switch cartridge has strong liquidity and can be "reinvigorated" after the game, the Switch's ability to log in to multi-region accounts to play also allows the Switch to have many loyal digital players.
