Soundwave said: Since this has previously been a topic of discussion here in various threads, I thought I would bring this point up from the last Nintendo investor Q&A Question: Nintendo Switch was announced under the development codename “NX” in March 2015, Furukawa: Looking back at the release of information leading up to the Nintendo Switch launch, we We will provide information about hardware and software at the appropriate time for So basically what I said ... they only announced NX so early (2015) because they were making an announcement for smart phone games and wanted to reassure investors that they were not getting out of the console business. As such it was a special case to announce NX that early and (by logical extension) does not mean Nintendo has to announce the Switch 2 on the same time line. Likely if Switch 2 is a 2024 product, they can just announce it in 2024 and launch 4-5 months later if they want (that was the actual length of the real Switch marketing cycle last time). |
I don't think Nintendo had announced Switch, or NX, so early if Wii U hadn't underperformed and 3DS had not been so close to the end of it's lifecycle.
If Switch sales are falling, we can expect a relatively close release to it's successor.
