Nintendo Sinks After Game Makers Say Switch 2 Pushed to 2025
- Anticipation was mounting for Switch successor debut this year
- Nintendo has said current Switch remains its main business
Nintendo Co. shares tumbled by as much as 8.8% after game-makers were told the company was pushing back the launch of its Switch successor to the beginning of next year.
The Kyoto-based company informed its game publishing partners that the release of the next-generation video game console will be delayed to the early months of 2025 from the last quarter of this year, Bloomberg News reported. Some of Nintendo’s partners were advised not to expect the still-unannounced console until March 2025 at the earliest.
