Game news Nintendo Switch Made a Kill in 2023, Looks Unstoppable While Waiting for Switch 2
Months go by, but the Nintendo Switch seems pretty unstoppable. While a new version is on the horizon (if all rumors are to be believed), Smart will be the one to shake up the Nintendo empire.
The switch event continues
If there’s one thing that can’t be taken away from Nintendo, it’s the ability to renew its vision of the console world with simple things. We would have liked Satoru Iwata, the late president of the Japanese firm, to capitalize on this stratospheric success. Buoyed by the failure of the Wii U, the company had a lot to do to restore confidence in its player community, But he managed to maintain his philosophy of “lateral thinking of obsolete technologies” (symbolic of his inheritance from Gunpei Yokoi) to accumulate a small treasure trove of ingenuity.. As it stands, the Switch is a reinterpretation of the Wii U, but not without the latter’s flaws and its absolutely enormous success. The latest example with Japan!
While the Nintendo Switch is the third best-selling console of all time, we just learned that it has just sold 130 million machines. There’s still some room to catch up to the Nintendo DS and PlayStation (they’re neck and neck with 155 million and a head start for the Sony machine), but it’s not impossible – even if it’s going to be complicated with the arrival of one. The next machine – that a new record has been reached. And for the record, Nintendo Switch has become the console hosting the most games in a year! Information provided by Anthony Silva from Circana Agency, reports… 2,360 titles released on Nintendo Switch in 2023. It is gigantic! Even if Steam tops all platforms with 14,000 games released in a year, that’s still quite a record for a console! Generally, as time passes, the excitement fades and the games become less frequent. A stark contrast to the Nintendo Switch with remarkable dynamics. In these situations, is the Switch 2 really needed?
Nintendo Switch 2, reality or illusion?
The Nintendo Switch was released in 2017 and will reach its seventh year of existence in 2024. In the life cycle of a console, this is very significant and it is not important that rumors regarding a new machine emerge on the web. But as it stands, and unless you’re a visionary, it’s hard to see what levers Nintendo will be able to pull to surpass its current machine. The Kyoto company has never been in a technology race, and the hybrid aspect of the Nintendo Switch suits its historic philosophy perfectly. So it will be very interesting to find out what innovations this imaginary machine (even if we suspect that Nintendo has been working on it for a long time) will find in what is already perfect. As this new year begins and the Nintendo Switch continues to be a hit, we want to ask you the question: What do you expect from the Nintendo Switch 2? New gameplay features? A technique on par with the most modern 3D engines? something else? Your keyboard!
