| Random_Matt said: Sony will keep the original plan up until production would need to start I guess. They will find out that the costs have not shrunk by then and they will subsequently delay I reckon; I will probably be wrong though. |
If I'm not mistaken didn't Nintendo keep to their production schedule (Holiday 2024) and just stockpile units throughout early 2025. Essentially they're probably super flexible either way.

"According to Japanese news site Nikkei, Nintendo wants to ensure there are plenty of "Switch 2" consoles on shelves, along with a healthy range of launch games: "Priority was given to ensure the initial inventory of the successor console and a lineup of software titles at the time of its launch," it wrote
Sadly for those who have shifted their calendar entries from late summer 2024 to March 2025, Nikkei also points out that the release date could slip again depending on manufacturing and supply."
