The Nintendo Switch is already the third-best-selling console in video game history, but now that the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X have become more readily available, the hybrid console's popularity among gamers is starting to wane. Because of this, Nintendo's hardware sales are down. But, despite this recent development, Nintendo is steadfast in its investment in the Switch.
According to the company's latest financial call, sales of the Switch are starting to taper off and it's still not going to release a new console anytime soon.
In the past, Nintendo has enjoyed significant success with the Switch. It's a unique console that's designed for use both on the go as a hand-held and at home like a traditional console. This struck a chord with gamers worldwide and the Switch has since become a fan favorite. However, the console has started to show its age, which might explain a slowdown in sales. It's also possible other factors are in play that could explain the slowdown, ranging from improving competition and an overall "lack" of new exclusive titles.
