Still, hoping for switch's successor in 2023 when you have a pretty strong lineup with major titles in 2022 remains quiete unreasonable to me honestly.
In addition, we have to remind every time that Furukawa said that switch just entered its second half of existance, and they are willing to make switch have longer lifecycle than usual. This will give switch an average of 8 years lifetime. March 2025 will be appropriate because cutting switch's legs right now is the dubest thing that Nintendo can do.

He said that a year ago, actually slightly more than a year ago. I believe it was June 2020. That was 3 years and 2 months after Switch release, so of course that is entering its second half. Now, over a year later, we are in its last two thirds.

Why would we want to keep using Switch hardware, which is just slightly better than Wii U, which was 360/ps3 level until 2025? Why tolerate that? I love the Switch, and I loved the Wii U, but why should we just be content with a device lasting until 2025? That's a crazy long time to wait for an upgrade. 8 years on a 360/ps3 (slightly better) device is ridiculous.

Pretty sure Furukawa said it entered the middle of it's life last year, not directly the second half. Longer than usual is 7+ years. He wouldn't say anything like that if he meant 6 years, because that is not longer at all. Splatoon 3 in 2022 to me is still a big indicator of the Switch successor not launching in 2023.
