Nintendo has indicated the Switch's successor won't arrive before April 2025.
Nintendo just published a Q&A transcript of an earnings call earlier this week (translated by GamesIndustry.biz), where president Shuntaro Furukawa speaks on the company's outlook for the current fiscal year, which doesn't end until March 31, 2025.
In short, Furukawa tells investors that Nintendo's current outlook for the ongoing fiscal year doesn't include the Switch's eventual successor. That could suggest Nintendo doesn't expect the Switch 2 to factor into the current fiscal year because it won't have launched within the time period. It is worth noting, though, that Furukawa says Nintendo hasn't "yet discussed launch timing."
Furukawa's new comments would appear to dispel the latter report. So far, all we know of the Switch 2 is that Nintendo plans to officially announce the new hardware in the current fiscal year. There isn't a timetable for the Switch successor's launch, so it's clearly happening later rather than sooner.
