Switch will have its successor releasing next year, since they've already determined that it was supposed to come out this year. They will most likely announce it when they were supposed to release it. So I presume they will announce it Nov 17, 2024. Since the consoles that release in Nov are always on the 3rd Sunday. I just hope it'll not put a damper on the holiday year. If there is a solid game then it wont be a problem. The latest they could wait to announce it would be at the Super Bowl. And the Switch will get its replacement nearing its 9th year. And most consoles last 2-3 years after their successor launches, so we can see the Switch easily have a 10th and a 11th year, but this can and will only happen if Nintendo doesnt drop their Switch off the cliff like Mario does to the baby penguin. Nintendo did say that the Switch was supposed to push the limits of a console life cycle. |
I don't think Nintendo will wait quite that long to announce it but we'll see. For the year part I mean by the time it turns 8 years old it won't be able to last any longer without a successor since sales will have declined too much by then. Holiday this year would've been the ideal release timing but a few months later won't be overly bad.
