Rumors end up being wrong a lot of the time or plans change even if rumors were right. I changed my vote to Spring 2025, but that would mean early spring and before the vernal equinox.
Until Nintendo says otherwise, I now predict Switch 2 will launch 07 March 2025. That is the first Friday of March 2025, which would repeat Switch launching the first Friday of March 2025. 8 years has been a long wait, but that even happened with Xbox 360 to Xbox One. We'll have to see if Sony waits 8 years to launch PS6 (Holiday 2028) which could happen because of how expensive PS5 has been to make and how long a lot of the cinematic-heavy games take to make.
I don't see Xbox taking that long. Xbox will launch in Holiday 2026 or Holiday 2027.
With how quiet Nintendo has been about Switch 2 (not even a codename yet), October 2024 is the earliest it could possibly come out, but Nintendo will probably just pick November if they bother with a 2024 release.
