Those thinking it's just a few months delay, I disagree. Nintendo has traditionally released a new generation every 6 years (the average I think was like 5.5 years before the Switch). The Switch didnt explode in sales until around 2020, which means the tech for Switch 2 was already decided at that point (2.5-3.5 years after Switch 1 launch). Every month the Switch is delayed makes the tech inside of it older and therefore less impressive come launch. By the time it comes out, Switch 1 will be 8 years old, which is absolutely insane.

I want Switch 2 to be as impressive as possible and every month it's delayed, let alone 2 years, that becomes less likely. It's not like they could adjust after 2020 or 2021 to beef up the tech on the Switch 2.
