Nintendo is planning on releasing an upgraded version of the Switch gaming console next year, according to reports
As a hybrid console, the existing Switch can be hooked up to a TV like a traditional console, or used as a handheld thanks to its dedicated screen. It is expected that this display will increase to 1080p from its existing 720p.
The refreshed hardware will also reportedly launch alongside a strong range of new games, something which the console has strongly benefited from in the past. Titles such as Mario Kart 8 and entries in the The Legend of Zelda series have been popular with consumers, while the latest Animal Crossing game has sold more than 22 million copies since it was released in March - just as many countries were going into lockdown due toNintendo's iconic character Super Mario will no doubt be featured among the new console's games
The original Switch and its Lite incarnation had sold more than 61 million units combined as of early August and the console is expected to have since surpassed the lifetime sales of the original Nintendo Entertainment System. Unlike its console rivals PlayStation and Microsoft, Nintendo does not yet have any major releases scheduled for Christmas time, when the market will be dominated by the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
