Nintendo Switch Pro: There is no announcement in the short term

It seems that we will have to wait longer than expected for a future announcement of the much rumored Nintendo Switch Pro. following an interview dedicated to the financial situation of Nintendo of the last quarter of the year, the journalist of Bloomberg Takashi Mochizuki had the opportunity to ask the president a few questions about the future plans of the big N Shuntaro Furukawa. Among these obviously the reporter tried to steal information on when we will be able to see an announcement regarding an improved version of Nintendo Switch and Furukawa replied with a little reassuring "not in the short term".

Given the rather frank statements mentioned above, we can only put our soul in peace and hope for a possible announcement towards the end of 2021. Nintendo Switch Pro could be in the pipeline so in 2022 also given the still excellent sales of the original version in the last months. It would therefore be counterproductive for the company to launch a new iteration of their hybrid on the market when there is still one version (or rather two with Switch Lite) That records record numbers of sales. In fact Nintendo Switch recently surpassed sales of Nintendo 3Ds, arriving at altitude 80 million units sold.

That Nintendo if you are doing well in this period it is not a big secret. In addition to the excellent sales of its consoles, it is also worth noting the large number of software purchased by players. They are placed in the first places Animal Crossing: New Horizon e Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with over 30 million units sold each. Below we find The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild e Pokémon sword / shield with a number of units placed greater than 20 million copies per game. In addition to these important numbers that contain a now clear success of Nintendo Switch, it should also be remembered that the Kyoto company has important releases planned for the coming months such as Monster hunter rise e Super Mario 3D World + Bowser Fury. With regard to Nintendo Switch Pro, we will probably have to be patient and wait several months before a possible announcement from Nintendo.
