Kane99 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 In before anyone says the Gameboy lasted longer, that is correct, but I guess Nintendo counts the Gameboy as a handheld device rather than a home console. Anyway, the Switch is now known as Nintendo's longest running home console ever at . Wasn't the Wii before it the longest running console they had? Or was it the NES or another console? The switch released in 2017, and we're nearing on 8 years since its release. Do you think we can expect a new console soon? Nintendo usually jumps at making new consoles fast, but it seems the Switch changed that. I think it's partly due to how it's also a handheld but is regarded as a console by Nintendo. But I do think it's time to move on and bring out a new console. Whether that is a completely new idea for a console, or a Switch 2. I feel it's coming very soon.

Lens Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Yes, the Wii was indeed the Nintendo's longest-running home console prior to the Switch. I found out that the lifespan was around 6 years (2006-2012). It'll be interesting to see what Nintendo actually has in store for us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Switch has been around since 2017 though so I think it is officially the longest running home console for Nintendo. It'd be something like 7 years and 4 months for the Switch and we're not seeing an upgrade until next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes it the longest-running home console for Nintendo. Most of the console typically lasts around 5-6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that the continued release of strong first-party titles and consistent third-party support have been key factors. What upcoming Switch games are you excited about?
