Coming off the failure of the Wii U, Nintendo hit it out of the park with the Switch, putting up some of the best sales figures for a home console in its history. Despite these impressive numbers, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa isn't resting, and he said he wants to avoid the big dropoff that most of Nintendo's systems see once they've been out for a few years.

Speaking to Nikkei Business (and translated by Kotaku), Furukawa explained that with the exception of the Switch, Nintendo has seen its business take a "nosedive" when consoles have hit their midlife point. Since the Switch is now four years old, it's seemingly at least at its midlife point, but sales continue to be strong for both games and the hardware.

"Because of this, I myself as well as those within the company do not at all think the current state of affairs will keep going and going," he added.
