It's going to be interesting to see if we are entering a down period for the console business and people are cutting back on having to have a game console after a boom period during COVID and now having to deal with sky high interest rates and inflation.
Going to be very interesting if Nintendo can replicate the early sales success of the Switch 2 next year.
Furukawa better have been running a tight ship in regards to Switch 2 software development the last 3 years or so because they could be launching into rough seas economy wise. I said it before but coming out of COVID (spring 2021-ish), I would insisted on Mario Kart Next, Next 3D Mario, and the Next Smash Brothers all having to be in hard development then. So that by 2024 it should be 3 years of hard development time and "planning" should have been happening before then.
It's like a coach of a sports team, you got to have your team prepared and ready to play and fired up to play even before a big game.
