| Torpoleon said: I definitely think it's highly preferable to launch in 2024, but if it's not ready, then I don't think an early 2025 launch would be a worst case scenario. Their stock would probably take a hit, but it recently exceeded the Wii peak and has gone up and down during the Switch era. If they do launch in early 2025, then 2025 would easily be a bigger first year than Switch 1 because I could see 3D Mario, Mario Kar,t Animal Crossing, Pokemon Gen 10 and others (like maybe Mario Party) all in 2025 if the system launches then. |
OK, Switch 2017 was really big and it was preceded by basically abandoning the WiiU beforehand. I don't see that easily replicated. Also Zelda TOTK is already out, this was without a doubt the big flagship release in 2017. I am also unsure about your lineup here. 3D Mario would be my guess for the big title, but beyond that it could be smaller titles mostly. I don't see Mario Kart 9 early on and Pokemon - GameFreak do what they want. I also don't know about Animal Crossing, I feel like this doesn't need to be an early title, because the customers of that don't care so much about power and releases and could easily be drawn in later too. Early on Nintendo needs the enthusiasts and more dedicated people to get the momentum rolling. So yeah, 3D Mario and an assembly of smaller titles, probably also quite some ports from Switch if the next system isn't backward compatible.
