Nintendo expects to sell 21 million Switch consoles.
Japanese video game maker Nintendo Co said on Tuesday it expects to sell 21 million Switch game consoles in the current financial year starting April 1, a 9 percent year-over-year decline.
Nintendo sold 23.06 million Switch consoles in the year ended March. That compares with the 23 million units that the game maker predicted in February.
Demand for the Switch has grown since the launch in November of a model with an OLED display, but the upgraded device remains in short supply.
Nintendo, which depends on in-house titles to drive games sales, expects to sell 210 million units of software this year, compared with 235 million last year.
The company has a strong pipeline despite the delay of the sequel to Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to spring 2023, with upcoming titles this year including Splatoon 3.
