The company that gave the world Mario, Link, and Samus is the undisputed champ of the modern console war, with nearly 150 million Switches sold since 2017. But now, speculation is rampant about the company's next console, rumored to launch in 2025.

Nintendo will “greatly reduce the amount of Wii U systems produced and shipped” during the financial year ending March 2017, company president Tatsumi Kimishima recently said. “Taking into consideration demand for the new NX hardware and overall demand forecasts,” he added, “we plan to ship 800,000 units.”

Nintendo announced that their first mobile app, Miitomo, has crossed the 10 million unique user threshold. They’re commemorating the milestone by running a ten-day “Celebrating 10 Million Users!” promotion between April 29 and May 8, the details of which are currently unknown.
