The main problem with this reasoning is that first party releases have noticeably dropped the year before the successor released on EVERY PREVIOUS NINTENDO SYSTEM. You're basically saying, "I believe what I want to believe, and I don't care what the reliable evidence says." I'll start predicting a Switch 2 when I start seeing a drop in first party production. This year has a new Zelda and a new Mario, and we're about to get a 40-minute Nintendo Direct. All of this content is a sign that a successor is not coming soon. On top of that Nintendo just posted their best first quarter in the entire history of ever. It would be moronic business to replace the Switch right now. All signs point to a Switch 2 coming later rather than sooner. |
You sure about that?

Where is this supposed drop in output before a new device releases?
