Let's put it this way. The way the Switch's sales are headed, this year is on track to be one of Nintendo's worst sales years in at least the past 30 years... that is unless the Switch 2 releases to make up for it. Investors aren't going to be too keen on seeing the line continue to go down. If the Switch 2 is ready to go this year, it's coming out.

Just wondering how you how you arrived at this speculation. I'm sure it's based on grounded information from sources, so I'm hoping I could read up on them myself. |
NPD and Famitsu threads are a good start, not just here but elsewhere. For example, November was waaaaay down year-over-year, like well over 40% in both the U.S. and Japan, and December's not looking like it'll fare any better either if Famitsu data is any indication. Those are big drops. Q3 2023 was pretty rough as well in the U.S., with it being way down YoY (by around 33%), as well as its weakest Q3 and weakest non-holiday quarter to date.
