Nintendo finally confirms the Switch 2 is on the way


In the most anticlimactic way possible, Nintendo on Tuesday confirmed years of rumors: the Nintendo Switch 2 console is on the way.

The Switch became so popular because it was the first commercially successful gaming hardware that could be played both as a handheld device and as a desktop console connected to an external display. Between March and November 2020, Nintendo sold 12 million Switch consoles, which was a 73% increase compared to the same period a year earlier. Still, the Switch remains hugely popular, thanks to blockbuster exclusive titles like “ The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom,” the long-awaited sequel to the classic “ Breath of the Wild.”
