Any chance of them announcing they're getting out of the hardware business? As much as I love me some Nintendo, I really don't think I'll be buying another console from them.

    Based on the sales of The Switch, I highly doubt it. While I agree that it is due for a refresh, Nintendo doesn't really chase high end graphics. They'll put out new hardware eventually that is more powerful than the current Switch, but less powerful than a PS5. They have a bunch of IPs that they know will carry it regardless of if it's cutting edge or not.

    I sincerely doubt they'll leave the hardware business. The Switch is their most successful home console of all time, ranking third in overall video game console sales.

    It's annoying to have to buy multiple consoles to enjoy the best experiences that video gaming has to offer, but I wouldn't bank on Nintendo leaving anytime soon.
