I don't see Switch 2 coming out at any point this year, but I don't find 2024 unlikely. When is the last time Nintendo has been this silent about their second half of the year when we're already a third of the year into the year? If this is a common occurrence for them, please correct me.
We only have Pikmin 4 in July for the entire second half of the year. Metroid Prime 4 probably isn't releasing in 2023, but maybe Detective Pikachu will release this year. And I'm sure there's at least one first-party game for this year that is still unannounced. But assuming we only get about 2-3 first-party games after Zelda, why would Nintendo have such a sluggish second half of the year unless a successor is launching in 2024? I know Tears of the Kingdom is huge, Fire Emblem Engage has been successful, and Pikmin 4 will succeed. But it just seems like a sparse second half if a successor is waiting until 2025 or beyond.
