When Nintendo introduced the OLED Switch, many lost hope of the future of a Pro console model capable of displaying games in 1080p, or even, most optimistically, 4K. But soon after, the rumors started again. Nvidia’s hack reveals that the manufacturer is working on an Ampere SoC for a more powerful Switch model. Then, at the beginning of the summer, he is a stage man, ensuring the console’s release before the end of the year.
Finally, one final theory everyone seemed to agree with. If the launch of the first Switch was accompanied by the release of Breath of the Wild, it seems logical that the second opus would be available at the same time as the Switch Pro, right? Let’s say right away: nothing will happen. Nintendo is really clear on this point in its latest financial report. Its current goal is to solve the shortage of components that affect its production.
Nintendo won’t be able to release the Nintendo Switch Pro until next year
At least, therefore until the end of its current fiscal year, which ends in March 2023. After that date, who knows what the future will bring, but in the meantime, Nintendo doesn’t seem to be inclined to make any major revelations. All in all, a very understandable decision: the second quarter of the fiscal year was heavily affected by the shortage of components, causing its turnover and profit to fall compared to the previous year.
However, Nintendo also reported that its sales targets will remain the same for now until March 2023. So, let’s hope that the manufacturer managed to reduce the effects of the lack of components. Anyway, we won’t hear from him until next spring, which probably means that if there’s a Switch Pro, we’ll have to wait for the final months of 2023 at least. , well.
