I think you're wrong on this, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share the information, I'll just say it is out there and its in Nintendo's financial data if you know what to look for, but you'd really have to know what you're looking for. 

If they knew the launch was way into 2025 I don't think they'd even do this whole thing of "maybe we'll reveal this year", it would just have been a flat out "we're not showing shit until next year" (in a nicer way of course). 

There's been quite a few leaks on the Switch 2 already, we basically know the exact chip (Tegra T239 with 1536 CUDA cores), the specs, the dimensions of the system, magnetic Joycons, top and bottom USB 3.0 ports, screen size and type (7.91 inch LCD), RAM kind and amount (12GB LPDDR5X), CPU (8 core ARM A78), internal storage is UFS 3.1 (much faster than Switch 1). And apparently we got pictures of the actual motherboard of the system and pre-production shells of the system.

 

“I am wrong” is a little but vague….Wrong about Nintendo not having started mass production yet? I would like evidence suggesting otherwise. It would be incredibly unprecedented for mass production to start any more than a couple weeks prior to reveal. And the leaked photos don’t come from some worker at a factory producing NSW2 systems, but rather from a (very bold) worker of an accessory developer. Wrong about Nintendo not revealing during Holiday? idk well have to see. Wrong about smth else? prolly idk lol.

There is evidence that they are preparing to go into mass production ... like very soon. Trial production might have even begun already. 

The details are out there. 

It also looks like Switch 2  initial production will be far higher than Switch 1's launch period was. I'm not sure if that means a ton of units on day 1 specifically or if the plan is to have a large amount of systems to go in the general launch period (first few months). It does look like the comment Nintendo's president made about wanting enough units to deter scalping is true. 

If there is a delay past March/April/May 2025 I would say it's 100% because the software has been delayed again and they are really way behind schedule. Nintendo is preparing production of a massive launch though, something that looks significantly bigger than the Switch 1 (March 2017), Switch Lite/Mariko, and Switch OLED launch production.
