At this point Im expecting it to be anywhere between April & September 2025. Before March 2025 is nearly impossible, Nintendo hasn't shown a history to fully unveil a system then release with less than a 4 month gap from reveal to release, for that to still happen it would need to reveal the system like right now which is highly unlikely at this point with the holiday season right around the corner to push more Switch sales. Nintendo would likely wanna give at least a good few months between reveal to release to market the system properly for a great launch. Plus I'm sure Nintendo also has pressure to meet their sales forecast for current Switch and may not want a Switch 2 release to prevent that from happening.
Holiday 2025 is more possible than before March 2025, but I have a feeling that Nintendo won't want to wait that long to release the Switch 2. While Switch sales have still been amazing, they've been slowly dropping and many people, including maybe even Nintendo themselves, are feeling the need more than ever to move onto new hardware to generate excitement again and felt like having the system not release in 2024 was already pushing it a bit too much. 2024 tbh really had no A-tier franchises that'll sell millions of consoles, waiting til Holiday 2025 would almost feel like 2 years where Nintendo hasn't really pushed forward or made waves in the industry with the Switch getting more niche, smaller budget titles. I think it should be early than Holiday 2025.
