The Nintendo Switch's days are numbered—but what is that number?
On Monday, Nintendo announced that it will stop producing the original Switch in Europe next February. That decision comes in response to European regulations that will soon require easily replaceable batteries in most consumer electronics. Rather than redesigning multiple original Switch models to comply with that regulation (as it is doing with the Switch 2), Nintendo has decided it will just stop selling the older console in the region. Those new battery rules won't affect the availability of the Switch outside of Europe, of course. But the move did get us wondering how much longer Nintendo might keep selling the 9-year-old Switch now that the Switch 2 is drawing the focus of both the company and the market. An Ars analysis of Nintendo's recent history (as documented in its annual earnings releases) shows that sales for even the company's best-selling hardware tends to decline to zero after nine full years on the market. But the data also shows the Switch being a relatively resilient market force that could sustain its commercial life well into its second decade on the market. Read full article Comments
