The Nintendo Switch has sold 125 million units since its release in 2017, so the pressure is on to put out something just as successful. Over 1 billion Switch games have been sold, so you might think this next-gen console would be guaranteed to have backward compatibility. <a href="https://www.polygon.com/23633001/nintendo-switch-2-release-date-2024-backward-compatibility" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">But VCG reported</a> that some publishers “expressed concern that legacy support for Switch games could negatively affect sales of next-gen titles”. Other <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/31/23814298/nintendo-switch-sequel-2024-rumor" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">sources report </a>the new console is “progressing well”, but the gaming world still awaits confirmation that it will include 4K resolution or any processing power upgrades. <a href="https://tryq-ai.medium.com/the-next-nintendo-console-is-probably-coming-in-2024-f93f47be3e91">Website</a>
