This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.
I wonder if you can just sign in to your Nintendo account and play all your digital Switch games. I wouldn’t mind buying a Switch 2, selling my current Switch and Lite, if I can still play MK8 Deluxe, MP10 and superstars, Zelda etc.

That won’t sink Nintendo. It will only increase their revenue.
People will rebuy the old game again. Some people will refuse to buy the old game. But no sale would be lost. In fact people will be less likely to sell their old consoles, reducing the supply of consoles which will increase demand on the new console.
People always make the assumption that a business will lose by making customers pay for things. It rarely is the case. Netflix banned account sharing, Reddit and Lemmy were full of people claiming this will hurt netflix. Not realising netflix only punished those that don’t give them more money. The people that suffered that ban weren’t buying netflix. The ban increased netflix profit, they also gained more paying customers.
