We don't know when the advice was given, but I'm going to assume it was when they pitched the idea, not when they completed the project. |
I would assume Nintendo probably looked at that circa 2021 or something and told "well, by the time this game is finished it'll be 2023, and well you might as well just wait for the next system in that case".
So they probably knew even back then that by about 2023/24 the new system would be close enough.
