Nintendo Switch 2 Anticipated as an Iteration Instead of a Revolution, Analyst Forecasts
Nintendo’s highly anticipated successor to the popular Nintendo Switch console is set to be more of an “iteration” rather than a major advancement, according to industry analyst Dr. Serkan Toto. The new console, expected to be launched later this year, is predicted to have a price tag of $400.
In a recent interview, Dr. Toto suggested that the upcoming console may not offer a significant technical leap forward compared to its predecessor. Instead, it will likely bear resemblances to the current Switch model, which has garnered immense popularity among gamers worldwide.
Interestingly, Dr. Toto also believes that the new console will retain the handheld nature of the Switch, as it will feature the highly anticipated Pokémon game. This news is sure to excite fans who have embraced the handheld capabilities of the current Switch.
Since its debut on March 3, 2017, the Nintendo Switch has experienced immense success, with a staggering 132.46 million units sold as of September 2020. This puts the console in the league of other iconic gaming platforms in terms of sales figures.
One of the key factors contributing to the Switch’s success has been its impressive library of games. Nintendo has released various popular franchises on the console, including Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Pokémon, Fire Emblem, and Xenoblade Chronicles. These games have resonated with players of all ages, resulting in the Switch becoming a must-have for gaming enthusiasts.
As the gaming industry eagerly awaits the release of the next iteration from Nintendo, fans are hoping for new and innovative features that will continue to revolutionize gaming experiences. Only time will tell what the future holds for the much-loved Nintendo Switch.
