There's no indication they're waiting till 2025. I'm not sure where this comes from aside from pessimism
[Bloomberg] Nintendo's share price is falling sharply after bad earnings results, analysts say it'll keep falling due to no new hardware on horizon
- Thread starter Truno
- Start date
Every video game market thread (especially for Nintendo) is like this. People think meanie investors are ganging up on poor [company they like] rather than investors doing what they do with any company under the sun.
Apparently he went to the Michael Pachter school of being an analyst.
My source is I made it up, but so is everyone else's. I would buy a Switch 2 tomorrow if it released, but I have to wonder what the plan is for Nintendo here, the Switch is still selling great.
But as people have stated they aren't just waiting for it not to sell well to release their next console. If 3rd parties are already working on games, which they'll have to be to meet a potential launch (and which we know is the case from reports of dev kits going out way back, assuming those are true), they can't just sit on them until Nintendo figures out when to launch. So any plans will have been figured out already, and won't hinge on Switch sales dipping
Can't imagine this will help... (who am I kidding, the price point won't stop anyone, right?)

From what I've seen this is prolly a good thing. Investors don't seem to like stuff that is more looking to the long term.
Investors don't like when a company gives them projections and then misses those projections
Oof that's so far away. Maybe they're waiting for hardware prices to keep falling? The Steamdeck definitely wouldn't have been possible for $400 even three years ago.
Yep.
Zelda coming out and the Mario movie, I'll scalp some profit here I imagine.
What will we do in a world without Nintendo? After the disaster that was the Wii U, the company had one more chance to recapture an audience. It failed miserably. Nintendo you will be missed. /s
