In 2024 the next console should be released Nintendo, which will have the difficult task of succeeding the Switch, launched in 2017 and sold 132 million copies. If the Japanese manufacturer has not yet made anything official, rumors are rife and speak of a more powerful machine which would retain the hybrid aspect between home console and portable.
To start the year off right, GamesIndustry.biz went to interview several analysts in order to get their predictions for 2024. No crystal ball here, but a market analysis mixed with stubborn rumors. Dr. Serkan Toto of Kantan Games thus evokes the Switch 2, which according to him would be more expensive, but without offering any real new features :
The time has finally come for a successor to the Switch, although I can say that a “Pro” model actually existed and some developers were already working with the dev kit. I think the next hardware will cost $400 next year. Chances are the games will also cost more: $70. The next system will also likely be an iteration rather than a revolution. Nintendo might add some frills to the device, but it will be similar to the current Switch. And since there is Pokémon, and Pokémon is associated with portable games, there is no no way Nintendo will abandon portability feature for his next big project.
An improved Switch, still hybrid but more expensive, to better run more expensive games, this is what the next console would be. Nintendo according to the analyst. It must be said that the Japanese manufacturer is undoubtedly reluctant to move on. Nintendo has sometimes struggled to attract players after a success, the failure of the Wii U still haunts the manufacturer. By releasing a Switch 2, possibly backwards compatible, the risk would be much lower.
In any case, we will have to wait before discovering what will be offered to us Nintendo as a console in 2024. Until then, you can find the Switch OLED at €319.99 on Cdiscount And there Fnac.
