| RolStoppable said: Based on the current momentum of Switch, the delayed first party development pipeline due to the pandemic and the above reasoning for launch timing, Nintendo's current target for a Switch successor should be holiday 2024 anyway. If they perceive it as feasible to extend Switch's lifecycle with a Pro-like SKU, then the planned launch date for Switch's successor could be pushed back to holiday 2025. After all, Nintendo's workforce expansion with new buildings is only now in 2022 happening, so the fruits of that labor won't show up anytime soon. |
I expect the successor comes out in 2025 as it's in line with both Nintendo repeatedly saying they are now in the middle of Switch's life and with the sales trajectory of the Switch: 2022 another 20+ mil. year and 2023 possibly another good year.
