This generation we've seen Sony update its hardware with the PS4 Pro while Microsoft has released multiple iterations of its console including the Xbox One S and One X, so this may be a way for Nintendo to extend the life of its console too. It also just launched Switch Online with cloud saves that make it easier for users to switch between systems, and with another year of development the software should be even better.

Also up for discussion is its 3DS handheld, as the paper reports software developers are waiting to hear about its future. The next Nintendo earnings report is scheduled for October 30th, although if the new system isn't planned for launch until the second half of 2019 we may not hear any updates for a while.
