At almost seven years old, the Nintendo Switch<\/a> still has life left in it \u2014 so much so that Nintendo has upped its predicted sales figures for its current fiscal year. In its third-quarter earnings release<\/a>, the company announced that it was increasing Switch's projected sales from 15 million to 15.5 million. The boost follows overall third-quarter net sales that were 29.9 billion Japanese yen ($201.1 million) higher and net profits of 6.4 billion Japanese yen ($43.1 million) higher than Nintendo's projections. However, it's worth noting that despite better than expected third-quarter net sales, the figure was still six percent lower than in the same period in 2022.<\/p>\n

A few long-standing favorites and new games are likely fueling additional Switch sales. Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. Wonder<\/em> game came out in October and hit 11.96 million units sold. Then there was The Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/em>, which had an April release in theaters and piqued interest in older titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/em> and 2023 launches like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/em><\/a>, the company reported.<\/p>\n

The Switch's improved sales forecast comes as gamers eagerly await the Switch's successor<\/a>. While Nintendo hasn't released any substantial information yet, the gaming system will reportedly launch sometime this year (and will face a much more crowded market than its predecessor when it does). Developers allegedly got a peek at the Switch 2 (for lack of a concrete name) behind closed doors at Gamescom in August 2023. They were said to view a version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/em><\/a><\/em>with a higher frame rate and resolution than the original Switch offers. The demo also reportedly showcased the Unreal Engine 5 for the upcoming Switch, ray-tracing, NVIDIA's DLSS upscaling tech, and visual quality similar to that of the PS5 and Series X.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
