Nintendo's Switch sales have dropped as they prepare to release the Switch 2. The original Switch has been very successful, but now it's getting old. Nintendo's profits have gone down because fewer people are buying Switch consoles and games. Nintendo is planning to release the Switch 2 this year. The Switch has been out for eight years, which is a long time for a game console. People are waiting for the new Switch 2 because the old one doesn't have many new games. Nintendo's biggest hits recently have not sold as well as before. Even though sales are down now, the Switch has sold a lot of consoles overall. It's close to becoming the best-selling Nintendo console ever. Nintendo has already sold almost as many Switches as the DS, the second-best-selling console. But to beat the all-time best-seller, the PlayStation 2, they would need to sell even more. Overall, the Switch has been a big success for Nintendo. They are excited to release the new Switch 2 and hope it will be just as popular.
