TOKYO :Japan's Nintendo Co Ltd on Tuesday said it sees a further slide in sales of its aging Switch console to 15 million units in the financial year to end-March 2024, a 17 per cent annual drop that would mark a third consecutive year of decline.

"Based on the guidance, it is crystal clear the launch of a 'Switch 2' or entirely new piece of hardware can be ruled out this fiscal year," said Serkan Toto, founder of the Kantan Games consultancy.
