This is the quote in better context from Nikkei Asia (the original source):

[Furukawa] also commented on the sales target for this year. "Given that recent year-on-year sales have been declining by more than 20%, the target of 15 million units ... is a bit of a stretch."

To offset the Switch's decline and get back on the growth track, many are calling on the company to introduce a new console.

One is rumored to be due out next year. "Development seems to be progressing well," a source close to Nintendo told Nikkei Asia. "But a product launch won't happen before next spring at the earliest."


I am starting to wonder if they really are just planning to rely heavily on ToTK + Evergreens this fall and no Mario platformer this fall as I had thought. Software being expected to decline also makes me go "hmmm".
