The company said that existing Switch software will be usable on the new device although some games may not be fully compatible. "What we saw is more like a 'Switch Pro' - an upgraded version that is bigger - than a Switch 2," he said, adding the launch will likely be after June. The company has said it expects to sell 12.5 million units of the ageing Switch console in the financial year ending March.
