We still have Switch1 first party games announced for 2026. They'll certainly keep it in production beyond that. They might cut the number of SKU's. Also Switch1 still very much a darling for smaller games like indy games in the foreseeable future. I don't see it ending production soon, especially the Switch Lite.

At this point if Nintendo wants the Switch 1 to top 160M they can do it. But the Switch 2 is their main focus now. 

The one to keep looking at is the how the Switch Lite will go going forward. It has the lowest decline of the 3 models. And it makes the most business sense to continue. (highest profit margin & low cost market acquisition)

Q1-Q3,2025 vs. Q1-Q,32026

Switch 2.74m vs. 0.98m = 64% Decline

OLED 5.07m vs. 1.48m = 71% Decline

Lite 1.73m vs. 0.79m = 54% Decline
