Nintendo in theirInvestor Questions and Answers ConferenceOn the above, it was revealed that in the past fiscal year, about 20% of households bought their second Switch console, which is about 5.8 million households.

It’s time for the match, and there is also the launch of the much-anticipated “Monster Hunter Rise” and more excuses to start.
Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa said at the meeting that they expect more families to have such demand for multiple devices, which will continue to drive console sales. In terms of regions, sales in Asia have the most significant growth, while Europe and the United States still have room to grow, and European orders were partially delayed due to the previous blockage of the Suez Canal.

So whether there will be a new Switch in the short term is really hard to say.
