| DarthMetalliCube said: I'm actually going to go out on a limb and say they're gonna stretch this thing out for a decade, so early 2027. Why cut off its life short while it's got such a massive library with solid 2nd/3rd party/indie support and is still selling relatively well? Though I do think between now and then (maybe mid-holiday 2025) a Switch Pro could be released. |
Stretching the console out for 10 years with a Pro version way closer to the release of a new system sounds like a very Nintendo thing to do. It sounds a little like the Game Boy, since a lot of people consider the Color to be a Pro version. Except the release between the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance was about 11.5 years, not 10.
I'm still banking on March 2024, with November 2024 nearly as likely, and March 2025 not unlikely.
