So, even with the history of portable-only Nintendo hardware, if a Switch successor was launching at any point next year, it would have already been announced this year.  Meanwhile, we haven't heard so much as a "codename" from Nintendo regarding their next hardware.

Yeah, the earliest I can picture them talking about a successor is at the end of fiscal year Q&A in May and likely just some generic quotes like, “We are hard at work on developing new hardware but want to focus on this year’s software lineup and have no further details at this time…………please understand.”



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
