Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has admitted the company is concerned about moving on from the Nintendo Switch.It comes after the Wii sold over 100 million units while its followup, the WiiU, managed just 13.5 million.

Similarly the Nintendo DS shifted 154 million units while the 3DS sold under half of that.Speaking during a Japanese investor call (and translated by VGC), Furukawa responded to a question about the future of the Switch.“We have already announced a portion of our software roadmap releasing up to next spring.
