So Switch 1 shipments forecast to drop by almost 60% YoY. 156.62m by March 31st 2026. 160m is going to be very tough to get if they don't beat that forecast. They'd need the drop in the next fiscal year to be less than that and Switch 1 should basically be dead and buried by then.

Not necessarily; systems like the 3DS and GBA continued to be produced and supported for years after their replacement, the same could happen with Switch 1. It already has a number of games slated for 2026 including first party titles like Rhythm Heaven Groove and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.

Switch 2's $450 price point leaves room for an entry level device like the $200 Lite to persist for some time.
