I agree, launch will also be late 2025. 8.5 years after Switch.

Nintendo seems to have had better success with early year launches.
That way, first buyers (early adopters), arn't takeing up all the stock, come holidays, wasteing the first one for the console.
I honestly think xbox and playstation should be copying that.

Besides its already been 8 years and 2 months  (it launched in march 3rd, 2017).
2017,2018,2019,2020,2021,2022,2023,2024 + 2 months.

Late 2025, would almost be 10years between consoles.
Nintendo doesn't have to wait that long.

Like if the hardware is ready (and supposedly by rumors its been so, for almost a year), and they feel like the time to launch the successor is now...
They probably will do so soon.

The question is if they launch this year, holidays... or early next year.
Do they go back to late year launch, or continue what worked for them last time?

I think 2025, feb-march launch is more likely tbh.

They don't have to wait so long, but they could coast if they want.

From a player's perspective, I hope it's March 2025 or at most slightly later. Switch hardware is really outdated and unless Nintendo has some unannounced bangers (the unannounced titles are probably small to mdi tier Nintendo releases) for Switch from the second half of 2024 onward, the software would go out with a whimper.
