The Nintendo Switch is now the most successful platform in history in terms of Pokemon games sold, overtaking the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance.

The franchise has had numerous titles appear on the Nintendo Switch, many of which are among the best-selling games the console has had in its seven-plus years of life. However, new information has revealed that the Switch's lifecycle has been the best period of the series, as it has eclipsed all past generations by large margins, even ahead of Gen 10 and future games' releases.

The 12 GB LPDDR5X RAM the Nintendo Switch 2 is rumored to feature could deliver better texture quality than the Xbox Series S, and address many of the visual quality issues of the current Nintendo consoles.

According to well-known leaker Midori, Nintendo has been calling its new console the 'Switch 2' and 'New Switch' behind closed doors, but it might not be the actual name when it's finally unveiled to the public (outside of a random tweet on a Tuesday, that is).

Proceed with the transaction right away, as you may miss out on the bargain if you hesitate.

Nintendo has revealed that fans can expect an announcement about the upcoming Switch successor, or Switch 2 as it has come to be known, sometime before the end of the current fiscal year. Rumors about the next iteration of the Nintendo Switch have been swirling for the past couple of years, which is understandable considering that the company’s unique hybrid console originally launched in 2017. Even upon its release, the Switch was considered to be one generation behind the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and many gamers have been waiting for Nintendo to release hardware that could compete graphically and technically with ninth-generation consoles.

Along with casually confirming a Nintendo Switch successor, Nintendo also provided updated sales numbers for its hardware and software for the fiscal year ending March 31st 2024. It included sales for the latest Switch titles like Princess Peach: Showtime!, which launched on March 22nd and Mario vs. Donkey Kong, released on February 16th.

Nintendo has confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal will take place this fiscal year, but set expectations ahead of June’s Nintendo Direct by stating that this stream will not feature the next generation console.
