Topic: how much longer will they still make switch games?

i seen online a new switch is comeing out. a course right after i bought mine lol. will they still make games for mine for at least a year?

@ragman7777 I bought mine at launch week 2017. I saw online a new switch is coming after I bought it in 2017. I promise I saw online

@ragman7777 In this month's investors meeting, they said the Switch is halfway through it's life cycle.

It is now the fifth year since the launch of Nintendo Switch, and the total hardware sell-through has exceeded 90 million units. We recognize that the system is at the mid-point of its lifecycle. The launch of Nintendo Switch – OLED Model has also been contributing to continued sales momentum and we are now offering consumers three Nintendo Switch models to match their play styles and lifestyles, as well as a wide range of software. With this, we believe a foundation for growth has been laid that exceeds what we previously considered to be a conventional hardware lifecycle.

edit: The downside of buying a console at launch is waiting for all the games to come out. And if you buy them at launch, you're paying full price. If you buy a console a while after launch, you can get many of the best games at lower prices, and you don't have to wait for them to slowly release over the course of several years.

cool im less worried now i one bought a camera then found out no one sells its film anymore i was bummmed

@ragman7777 There's a chance that Switch game cards may work on the next gen Nintendo console. We've seen previous Nintendo consoles with backward compatibility.
Gamecube discs worked on the Wii.
Wii discs worked on Wii U.
Nintendo DS cartridges work on 3DS.

I'm not going to put all my faith in it, but it'll be nice if the next gen Nintendo console can run Switch game cards. -fingers crossed

@ragman7777 At lest 2 more years before the next one comes out and it will definitely be backwards compatible.

@WoomyNNYes Pretty sure it’s going to happen. Each family of systems (since it was economical) has been backwards compatible. GB-GBC-GBA. GC-Wii-WiiU. DS-3DS-N3ds. Switch is the beginning of a new family.

I think at least 3 years to go tho

Maybe in year 2024 or 2025 there will be a next generation Nintendo machine.

@Anti-Matter generations are irrelevant now. All the console makers are using the Apple model.

You just got switch and asking when they will stop releasing new games? Seriously? Do even have time to play the ones that are already released atm ?

Switch will be all Nintendo talks about for several more years yet. Why replace something thats doing so well. I expect nothing till 2030.
