There has been news that Nintendo will be having mini presentations to showcase the Successor, just like how they advertised the Super Mario Bros. Movie. So expect to see more news for the Successor throughout this FY.

President Furuwaka says it will be challenging to reach 13.5M, that is rather interesting. We will see some major marketing this second half of the FY, and some major changes to the Switch either in the looks of a price cut, bundles, or a new revision.

This is just pure speculation and personal wants, but if Nintendo is truly trying to get multiple Switchs in the same house they need to do any of the following:

• Provide free local network cross play between Switch units
• Provide cheaper NSO
• Provide more games that lean heavy into local network and/or NSO
• Provide more new Switch designs, or release old ones. 

Cheaper NSO ... the family plan is already very cheap.  You get 8 members for 35 a year.  Hell I'm pretty sure someone from VGC is still getting free online for their switch from my Family plan.

If anything it would be nice if they found a better way to share software (it would be a good way to push digital).  It sucks that I have to spend $180 for 3 members of my household to participate in a Splatfest together ...

Some families haven't gotten the NSO due to economic troubles. Or they dont have any friends to play online with. If they had a local network software share, it would provide local co-op between Switch units. That way everyone can play together easily for way cheaper. You gotta lose money to make money.

I do agree that it does suck to spend that much for local between Switch units.
