Will the Switch 2 be revealed this month?

I don't think so either, but Furukawa is the one that keeps answering that a unveil this year wouldn't impact Switch 1, so that's for whatever reason something he keeps on repeating. I don't get why they just don't say it will be next year before the end of the fiscal year. 

On the manufacturing side though, it does look like something is starting. 

If something is indeed starting manufacturing wise then that's promising since that would mean it shouldn't be any later than January and I'll get genuinely annoyed if it takes longer than that.

It's hard to know what their internal marketing time line might be, as much as people say Switch was XYZ weeks, the fact is Nintendo did very little marketing for it prior to January 2017 and that was a completely new hardware concept for them too which in theory should have required more time to explain. 

Switch 2 is probably just ... well a beefed up Switch, it's not even going to require much explanation as such they could probably have a shorter marketing window and not be affected so long as the product is attractive. 

But on the manufacturing side, they definitely seem to be massing for production to begin in some capacity soon. Actual Switch 2 components are being sent out to their production factories (well at least one of them in Vietnam, we don't get data from the Chinese side manufacturers) in sizable quantities starting last August, so who knows what's happening now. The shipping/customs reports trail by 1+ month I believe.
