【funinusa.net comprehensive report].Analysts told CNBC that Nintendo is likely to release a new Switch console this year, as the Japanese gaming giant looks to capitalize on interest in its characters ranging from Mario to Zelda.
First launched in March 2017, the Nintendo Switch marked the birth of a new hybrid console where gamers could play games on a TV or connect a controller to a tablet to play on the go. This combination of portability for home consoles and mobile gaming has proven popular with gamers. Nintendo has sold 1324.6 billion Switch, making it the company's most successful console after the handheld Nintendo DS. Since the launch of the Switch, Nintendo's stock price has increased by more than 200%. Thanks to stable and strong first-party games and popular characters, the console has helped the company maintain its sales momentum over the years. Games involving Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon are bestsellers on Switch. But there are signs that sales are starting to slow down and that Nintendo needs some new products. Nintendo in itIn September's quarterly earnings report, revenue fell 4% year-over-year and profits fell 19%. Serkan Toto, CEO of Kantan Games, a game consultancy based in Tokyo, told CNBC: "I think the new device will be available in 2024, probably in the second half of this year. ”“The original Switch is now almost 7 years old, sales are declining. So this year is definitely the time for Nintendo to launch a new system. Piers Harding-Rolls, head of game research at Ampere Analysis, expects the Switch to launch in the fourth quarter of this year. Jefferies managing director Atul Goyal believes that the timing of the launch will depend on recent sales. Goyal said that if the Switch remains popular during the holiday season, Nintendo could launch a new console this fall. He added that if Switch sales fall in the December quarter, the new device could be launched as early as spring or summer. Nintendo has yet to report its December results. The launch of a new console this year will also allow Nintendo to capitalize on the popularity of some of its key characters following the film's release. Since its release in April, Super Mario Bros. Movie has grossed more than $1 billion at the box office and helped Nintendo grow its revenue in June last year. In November, Nintendo said it planned to develop a live-action film, The Legend of Zelda, one of Nintendo's most popular characters. We are right onHow much do you know about Switch 2? Not much is known at the moment, as the company has been tight-lipped about its next steps. Analysts expect the product, dubbed "Switch 2," to follow the hybrid approach of its predecessor. "I expect Nintendo's next-gen console to be the successor to the Switch because the way the hybrid devices are so successful," said Harding-Rolls. Kantan Games' Toto said he wants the follow-up to be "new devices, not just upgrades." "Nintendo needs to significantly improve the specs after 7 years, so they're definitely going to launch a successor," Toto said. In the opinion of many, such an assessment based on the success of the switch makes sense. "Console strategy is likely to be evolutionary rather than revolutionary. In other words, it's iPhone mode. Analysts at Moffett Nathanson wrote in a December note: "Switch's 1With an audience of more than 300 million people having the opportunity to experience a familiar but more powerful form factor, Nintendo also has the ability to sell compelling first-party (and third-party) games to a larger audience. ”switch 2Will it sell well? According to Harding-Rolls, the performance of new consoles will be affected by the product** condition. But he said he believes the console "reached a level similar to the original Switch in its first fourth-quarter sales period," which equates to about 7 million or 8 million consoles sold to consumers. Analysts at Moffett Nathanson say the Switch 2 is unlikely to "catch up with or overtake the Switch," arguing that the current Nintendo consoles have benefited from people buying consoles during the COVID-19 pandemic while staying at home. Still, the analyst said, "this next-gen console can match or even surpass the Switch's early performance, but will decline as it enters its fourth year and beyond" as Nintendo's fiscal 2021 and 2022 COVID inflation comparisons were "too challenging to overcome."
