Yeah, the theory took fire when that "Brasil" guy made the claim about Nintendo taking the Indie Direct/Partner Showcase forwards earlier than it was supposed to. Since then, most think it's because the Switch successor is about to enter manufacturing which will lead to the inevitable reveal before the usual manufacturing leaks happen |
huh. Didn’t even think about the manufacturing aspect. NSW was revealed with five months between reveal and launch, giving only a short period of time to produce systems. This fits well with Nintendo’s likely modest expectations of 2mil F’16 and <10mil F’17. Being that Nintendo is prolly anticipating NSW Successor to at least *double* these figures, it’d make sense they would shoot for a longer period from reveal to launch.
So, September for beginning of mass production with Summer 2025 release seems very sensible. I trust that Brazilian dude, some “leakers” just know what’s going on.
