Rumors have swirled about Nintendo’s next console for years, but some are more consequential than others. Recently, the company’s stock dropped as much as 8.8% after a report that the company has pushed back the launch of its Switch successor to 2025.
Last week, Bloomberg reported that Nintendo told game publishers that its unannounced next-generation console has been pushed into the early months of 2025. According to VGC and other sources, the console was widely expected to launch in 2024, but the launch date slipped into next year for unknown reasons. The company’s stock eventually recovered to a 5.8% drop within the same day, which represents the biggest value loss for the company since October 2021.

Over its seven years of existence, the Switch has become one of the most successful game consoles of all time, selling 139 million systems and over 1 billion games.
