I don't think there is any reason to believe in the first place that it is coming before May 2025. A March launch is probably around a 0% chance of happening. Not sure where the idea of a March launch even came from or why you are mentioning it. Extremely unlikely they are going to launch it just two months after a reveal. If a March launch was planned they would have revealed the system earlier this Fall. Everything for a while now has been pointing to a late Spring launch. We've known for months that there are still first party Switch games coming out in the first few months next year, which presumably are releasing before next gen starts. We've known it was extremely unlikely Nintendo would hurt Switch holiday sales by revealing the new system this year, and also considering they long ago said they would announce the next system this fiscal year (rather than calendar year) that further pointed to the announcement coming in early 2025, not 2024. We've known it was extremely unlikely Nintendo would only leave a couple months between the announcement and the launch, because why in the world would they! Not even sure why anyone has been talking about a March launch. Since at least this Summer the May-July period has been by far the most likely launch time. You could've kissed march 2025 goodbye like 6 months ago if you were being realistic. |
The point is that i predicted a march 2025 launch back in 2019 when Nintendo said the Switch will last longer and will be replaced later than previous Nintendo systems. The NES was 7 years, so the Switch has to be 8- so march 2025. It was me who came up with mach 2025 in 2019. It was me who spread around rumors about Switch Up in march 2025. Not too long ago i've been laughed off for even doubting a march 2023 release date because "Nintendo always replaces their systems after 6 years blablabla..." and that was after Covid delayed everything and the Ukraine story including inflation was already going on. Yes in 2022 people still predicted a march 2023 or summer latest possible release date with TOTK as cross gen game just because BOTW was one. The same people claim its "100% sure" MP4B would be cross gen when Metroid never was.
February this year rumors about a release in 2025 even started so i moved my prediction to march 2025 as the "earliest possible release date possible". I don't say its 100% likley now but i am shortly before moving my prediction to may- july, if not later...
