We’ve said on more than one occasion that the Nintendo Switch 2 It is a very real project, and that it will most likely be launched this year. We don’t have anything officially confirmed yet, but the latest information points directly to a launch at the end of the year, between Q3 and Q4.

In this sense, it is important to emphasize that Nintendo itself has abandoned the fact that the launch of this new console will not mean the end of the Nintendo Switch and that both will coexist on the market for several years, which means that the current model will be supported until 2025At least.

Overall, we are talking about 8% of the total number of participants, which is equivalent 240 out of 3,000 who attended it.

That 240 developers are already working on games for a console that hasn’t been released yet says a lot about the interest it’s generated, but if we measure the overall results of the survey, we realize that PC is still the popular platform for developers. Of all those surveyed, 66% said they were fully involved in development for said platform, while the PS5 and Xbox Series X-Series S were at 35% and 34% respectively.

It also attracts attention popularity of Android and iOS, two platforms that surpassed the Nintendo Switch and previous generation consoles. Virtual reality rigs haven’t fared too badly either, and at the bottom of the list we have minority platforms that include the likes of Netflix and TikTok.
