If people want to get hyped up that's their choice, they can decide for themselves whether they want to risk being let down.

We can't rule this out as misinformation at this point because it could be true.

This kind of reasoning is literally why there are people who believe that it takes 7 years for gum to digest or that cold weather itself makes you sick.
It's also why there are people who believe the Earth is flat.

Because they are "allowed to decide for themselves" without being challenged or questioned... They are essentially allowed to exist in an echo-chamber, reverberating the same garbage to reinforce their already established confirmation biases with other like-minded individuals.

If we cannot rule it out as misinformation, then the claim should be dumped in the bin... Until such a time there is evidence to support it. And not the reverse.
It's called the "Burden of proof" which is more important than ever.

And no. I won't stop challenging these "leakers" who are just speculators/propagators of rumor... Because people are stupid, because people actually 100% believe it, rather than think of it as a mere "possibility" that should be taken with a grain of salt... And if this thread is any example of that, there are people who are taking these rumors as real, rather than with skepticism... And that is truly disheartening in the information age.

I don't even care but if you think Nate is wrong, why don't you put your money where your mouth is and bet against it. 

Nate gets the benefit of the doubt because he's been correct many, many, many times before. This isn't some guy that just has gotten 1 or 2 things correct. 

Nintendo isn't that easy to predict because "Nintendo" isn't even the same company as 10 years ago, next person to bring up the Wii should get slapped upside the head. That entire management team is basically not even with the company anymore, that was 20 plus freaking years ago. Even from 2015, the board of directors of 2025 is almost entirely different. Miyamoto is still there but he's basically semi-retired from gaming at this point and just works on the movies and theme parks. 

The "I know Nintendo because I know about a system called Wii" types, lol ... they're the most clueless of all, they've gotten almost everything wrong on every aspect of the current Switch 2 system because they don't understand the new people making decisions at Nintendo aren't the same people, the old board of directors is virtually gone. They new people are going to do things differently and come from a totally different generation at that. I'd rather listen to Nate  than the "I know a thing or two about Nintendo" crowd, lol. 

The modern management at Nintendo probably has more in common with Sony's Playstation division today than the Nintendo of 20-25 years ago under Iwata that was going blue ocean trying to make hardware appeal to soccer moms.
