| Sephiran said: We don't know how long Nintendo will continue Switch production, there are analysts that expect Nintendo wants to sell 20 million Switch 2 units in year 1, so that could mean that Nintendo will shift all of their production to Switch 2 pretty quick, we can't rule that out, if the demand for the Switch 2 is high, Nintendo may discontinue producing Switch units in favour of Switch 2 units pretty quickly. |
Nintendo always continues manufacturing their successful systems years when the new one is out. The Switch is so successful and has yet to have a price cut it could be on the market for at least 3 more years. The 3DS wasn't discontinued until 2020, 3 years after the Switch was out and 1 year after it got it's last major game releases (Kirby, Persona, Etrian Odyssey, and Mario & Luigi).
I know Nintendo will support the Switch with new software until late 2026 to satisfy existing consumers who didn't make the jump and new consumers who are going in on a budget (we need those Nintendo Selects to return).
