The Switch was released in 2017, and since its launch, there have been rumors that Nintendo will launch an enhanced version of the Switch Pro. However, some analysts recently predicted that the successor to the Nintendo Switch will be launched in 2024, and it will not be the Switch Pro.
Ampere analyst Piers Harding-Rolls told Gamesindustry.biz that despite recent reports that Nintendo may be planning an upgrade to the Switch, he doesn’t think it will happen with the Switch Pro at all.
“Right now I think the console market will be pretty flat year-over-year in 2022 due to declining Switch sales and the fact that we’ve just wrapped up an amazing few years for console gaming. Even so, the Switch family of devices is poised to be the best-selling console in 2022 again. , With the launch of the OLED Switch, Switch sales in 2022 will be about 21 million units.
I don’t think there will be a Switch Pro in 2022. Our prediction for the next-generation Switch console is at the end of 2024, so I don’t think the Switch Pro model will appear at all. ”
Bloomberg previously reported that at least 11 game companies, including Zynga, have received software development tools from Nintendo to support 4K graphics. Bloomberg said that when Nintendo officially announced the Switch OLED in July last year, Nintendo had already distributed 4K development kits to third-party manufacturers, asking them to start making games that support 4K resolution. The report also said that Nintendo still plans to release an enhanced 4K-capable Switch Pro as early as the end of 2022.
