| Otter said: If Ninetndo's expectation is that a systems lifespan ends at the release of a new console, then its looking like a Switch 2 in late 2023 is the earliest they'll do but that doesn't have to be the case at all. (and Nintendo have always combined genius with being quite slow) |
Same I said to Soundwave: Nintendo themselves say they expect the Switch to have a longer lifecycle than previous consoles. It's hard to argue against that. Of course, there are always opportunities, as you correctly said. However, a new console is always a big risk. The launch of new hardware can make or break companies in this business. So there are not just opportunities but also lots of pitfalls. So, the question Curl asked remains: Why release a new console when the last one is still at the height of its success?
