Did the poll get reset in this thread?

yes, I posted the original one in my post from earlier (two posts above yours), since the original post got deleted when the site was hacked

Well, after all those rumors, I think Late 2024 seems to be the rational answer now.

Spring/Summer 2024.

I wouldnt be surprised if its Fall 2024 in time for the holidays.

Awesome!  Thanks for doing that!

Back in 2022 I said March 2024, and pre-COVID I would've said March 2023.
I'm saying November 2024 as the most likely. April-August 2024 has a small chance, September-October 2024 or March 2025 have a decent shot but less than November 2024.
I still see people arguing that Nintendo should wait until after March 2025 to release a Switch successor which is baffling to me. I suppose those same people think Nintendo will abandon Switch pretty quickly after Switch 2 launches but that is not a given. While 3DS was a very different way to play than Switch, it got good support in 2017 and even some in 2018-2019. Just because Switch 2 is 90% or more likely to be backwards compatible doesn't mean Nintendo should abandon Switch. DS may have been a third pillar at first, but it did play GBA games. GBA still got significant support in 2005 and 2006.
It doesn't seem like a smart idea to coast off of Switch as the only hardware until after FY 24-25. It seems the better idea is to launch a successor that many have waited for and have Switch as a backup in the unlikely event Switch 2 struggles.

Time to renew the thread!
Vote now!

Rumors end up being wrong a lot of the time or plans change even if rumors were right. I changed my vote to Spring 2025, but that would mean early spring and before the vernal equinox.
Until Nintendo says otherwise, I now predict Switch 2 will launch 07 March 2025. That is the first Friday of March 2025, which would repeat Switch launching the first Friday of March 2025. 8 years has been a long wait, but that even happened with Xbox 360 to Xbox One. We'll have to see if Sony waits 8 years to launch PS6 (Holiday 2028) which could happen because of how expensive PS5 has been to make and how long a lot of the cinematic-heavy games take to make.
I don't see Xbox taking that long. Xbox will launch in Holiday 2026 or Holiday 2027.
With how quiet Nintendo has been about Switch 2 (not even a codename yet), October 2024 is the earliest it could possibly come out, but Nintendo will probably just pick November if they bother with a 2024 release.

I've now renamed the votes option, to better represent the periods, so they are as follows:

• Before September 2024
• September - December 2024
• January - April 2025
• May - December 2025

2025. It would have been announced by now if it were 2024.
