Is there somewhere I can read this without having to pay or give any info for a free trial?
Anyways from the few sentences I could read I saw that the slow sale projections of the Switch’s year 6 are still more than the WiiU’s entire lifespan.
TLDR: Nintendo is forecasting sell-through of 15 million Switch consoles for the next fiscal year. Investors and analysts think new hardware is the only way Nintendo can stop the bleeding, but they don’t expect there to be any until the next fiscal year (2024-2025). This year is expected to be a very challenging year for Nintendo.
Furukawa himself has admitted that 15 million is not a conservative forecast, which is unusual for Nintendo. We’ll see how Nintendo intends to reach its sales forecast this year.

I am wondering what have they got in store. Once Pikmin and Zelda comes out, there isn’t anything **big** from Nintendo left to wait for, at least until the next direct that is most likely happening in the next month or 2 confirms anything.
Do they still have some switch aces up their sleeves or are they just gonna give us more remasters/spinoffs while working on software and hardware for next gen?
