[learning]

WHAT YEAR WILL NINTENDO RELEASE THEIR NEXT CONSOLE (NOT REVISION)!

I THINK 2023 AT THE EARLIEST. WHY RELEASE NEW CONSOLE WHEN SWITCH DOING SO WELL.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE

 

[squeakywheel]

Stop YELLING.

 

[Wariobenotware]

STOP SHOUTING

2024 is my bet. Switch will have a 7 year lifespan same as the 3DS and the recent consoles.

SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE

WILL SWITCH FOLLOW PREVIOUS PORTABLE CONSOLES AND RELEASE A STRAIGHT BALLER SWITCH SEQUEL THAT PLAYS SWITCH LIBRARY DAY ONE?

I SURE HOPE SO

 

[JCal]

NINTENDO IS DOOMED. Haven't you heard?

 

[Deleted member 17990]

WHY ARE WE YELLING

 

[takriel]

I think Nintendo will stick with the Switch brand, as they likely won't catch lightning in a bottle for a third time. From now on, it will be Switch 2, then 3 etc.

[Admiral Woofington]

I love the idea that you are furiously typing away at your keyboard creating this thread like this lol

 

[RingoGaSuki]

ANNOUNCED 2023 FOR A MARCH 2024 RELEASE. SWITCH IS DOING CRAZY WELL, NO NEED TO KILL THAT WITH ANOTHER CONSOLE SOON, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S STILL SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE.

I'm laughing so hard at this. You just made my day

 

[Deleted member 10737]

late 2022/early 2023. it'll have full BC and a lot of games will be cross gen tho so the transition will be smooth.

Holiday 2023.

It'll be named like a car: the Nintendo Switch 24

 

[RavFiveFour]

Nintendo hasn't made any statements or concerns about a Switch successor.

 

[Deleted member 56752]

Idk. I hope soon so I can get a switch for $100

 

[ILikeFeet]

probably 2022/2023 as Nvidia will release a product using the new ARM cpu and an Ampere gpu

 

[Amnixia]

I think we'll get a Switch 2 in 2022, fully BC with original Switch.

Hopefully they'll put in some improvements to the OS before then.

 

[Ryuelli]

NINTEMO WELL RELEESE THE NINTEMO SWATCH TOO WEN LEEDERS SAY DO IT NOW!

 

[Hieroph]

Gotta imagine the current crisis has delayed a lot of plans, even ones farther into the future.

This thread is now about CAPS LOCK.

7 years seems to be the length of a generation now, so late 2023 to 2024.

 

[Mudo]

2023 will be 6 years. That feels right to me.
I honestly won't be surprised if we never get the fabled "Pro" model and they just ride it out until their next gen.
I also can't imagine them deviating from Switch design for next gen. I think it will have similar functions but add some new stuff in (VR? I can't even think of anything else lol)

I am in no hurry. Next gen is about to start for the others, and I adore my Switch and am sure we will keep getting amazing games for the next 3 years.

 

[Bioshocker]

2023 is a proper guess. That would make its lifespan six years long, which is same as the Wii. 2024 is not impossible, though.

 

[ShiningBash]

The Wii was released in 2006, sold 100m units, and then the Wii U came out in 2012. The Switch was launched in 2017, is on pace to sell 100m+ units, and so 2023 seems like the logical option.

The two unknowns for the Switch successor are hardware costs and the possibility of a half-step Switch Pro that extends the life of the Switch. Regarding costs, Nintendo needs to get to the point where it can sell a hybrid for $300 that can run high caliber PS4/X1/PC games (e.g., RDR2, Death Stranding, Sekiro) with minimal compromise. It should also be able to run games like Cyberpunk 2077 with dedicated porting.

However, if they release a Switch Pro with more internal memory and an improved SoC in 2021, then the Switch 2 might not arrive until 2024 or 2025. Until 5G is widespread and xCloud/Stadia/PS Now perform spectacularly, Nintendo has a monopoly on handheld gaming. Even when those streaming services get amazing, Nintendo will still be the only company with bespoke handheld hardware which means the Switch will sell well for a long time.
