Even though the Nintendo Switch is on its way to becoming the company’s best-selling tabletop console of all time, the video game giant is already planning to give it a well-deserved retirement.

In addition, executives have also announced the major game launch that would help boost demand.
However, the sales of Nintendo Switch have been falling year after year, and it should be remembered that this console is going to be five years old, a very old age for a device in this sector. In fact, the OLED Switch itself uses the same technology as consoles from years ago.
