You interpret it wrongly. Again, asked about the Switch if it will still be supported in fiscal year 2025, Furukawa of course answers with a yes because 1. it's true and 2. anything else would shy away potential Switch buyers. Everything after that, i.e. starting from April 1, 2025 onwards is nothing Furukawa wants to share with investors, media and the public at this point as it's too early, irrespective if the Switch will still be supported or not. Again, Nintendo is a very conservative Japanese company that is very careful with the information they share and anything that's farther away than about 6 month (sometimes a bit more) will simply not be talked about.

We are almost at the fiscal year for 2025. It starts this upcoming April. Your second point though is a smart business move, has no relevancy when he is speaking the truth (sorry i just didnt see a need to include the 2.) Truth is truth.
Yes I agree that he doesnt want to share corporate plans after april 2025, which is a very legitimate and understandable reason. I was just speculating and asking open ended questions as to why does he specifically state March 31 2025 when that is almost 1.5 years away (way further than the usual conservative 6 months.

Why do you think they specifically stated March 31, 2025 being the end for software support? Why didn't they say they have no plans to stop producing Nintendo Switch games at this time? (which seems like a very Nintendo-like answer they would give). Or why didn't they have a different date in mind (like June 30th 2027)?

I just like speculating what is happening, and want to see what others think.
