This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.

Seems kind of strange to announce this way I wonder if they're expecting a big leak to come out so they're getting ahead of it? Otherwise, why not just mention at the end of that June direct that you'll talk more about this in the coming months

They are letting the investors know in advance they won't talk about Switch. The Japanese Twitter account is used for these kind of things.

Nintendo just released their earning reports, and Switch only sold 1.96Million in last months (Jan - March), so maybe they announced it to let the shareholders know that next one is coming soon.

ONLY 1.96 million units. Imagine having a problem like that
