Nintendo is gearing up for the Switch 2’s launch sometime in 2025, and president Shuntaro Furukawa says that the company is “taking risks and proceeding with production so that we can meet as much demand as possible,” according to a machine translation of an earnings Q&A.

Following the release of its financial results on Tuesday, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa answered a series of questions from investors. Among those questions was one about the future of software on the Switch after the Switch 2 arrives. You can read Furukawa’s answer below (as translated by Nintendo Everything ):

Switch 2 pricing has been on the mind a lot lately, particularly after the announcement of the beefy £699/$699 price tag on Sony's PS5 Pro. Hearing that "affordable pricing" is being taken into consideration is, of course, a welcome (if rather predictable) note, but what does that really mean?

Nintendo's president has discussed some of the factors involved in the Switch 2 price, as he rules out a reduction for the original console.

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said in an interview with Japanese newspaper The Sankei Shimbun that the company will continue to support the Nintendo Switch even after its successor is released.

The announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 didn't have anything to do with the plummeting sales of the original console according to shuntaro Furukawa.
