Who cares about Animal Crossing, they're obviously all here for Resident Evil. lol
Yeah I apologize for that, thought it was a harmless joke since it shouldn't be taking serious. Won't happen again.
But that's a normal life cycle, you really think switch2 will come out at that time? There are a couple factors we have to look at here....
Are we even sure next gen is releasing this fall? How long are shortages going last 2020? Production isn't fully up yet intill...? Next model and how many more and as well as a price cut that hasn't happened or probably won't intill earliest 2021 holiday? Fall 2022 isn't even a full 6 years so earliest is spring 2023 but I can see 2024 fall
Other companies are releasing their multiplayer games every year, Call of Duty, Fifa and the likes...
Agreed. Even the massively successful DS had a successor after six years and three months. No way in hell Nintendo is going to go seven plus years before releasing Switch 2.
I think Switch 2 is pretty much a lock for Q1 2023. That just worked out too well for them last time for them to not try that playbook again.
- Call of Duty and FIFA are bigger than Mario Kart.
- Nintendo is also a console manufacturer, they need more variety in their catalogue than Activision Blizzard and Electronic Arts do, with less manpower even.
7 years is not a normal life cycle for a Nintendo system.
The Famicon and the Super Famicon had about 7 years apart (the NES to SNES was less than 6 though). The Gameboy is also a little unique because it went from Gameboy (1989) to Gameboy Pocket (1996) to Gameboy Color (1998) to Gameboy Advance (2001) and there was very little improvement tech-wise until the Advance.
Other than that we have:
SNES (Fall 1991) --> N64 (June/September 1996) ~5 years
N64 --> Gamecube (September/ November 2001) ~5 years
Gamecube --> Wii (November 2006) ~5 years
Wii --> Wii U (November 2012) ~ 6 years
Wii U --> Switch (March 2017) ~4.5 years
GBA (March/June 2001) --> DS (November 2004) ~3.5 years
DS --> 3DS (March 2011) ~6.25 years
3DS --> Switch (March 2017) ~6 years
History puts the likelihood of release between 5 and 6 years.
I still don't think that's gonna work out. with next gen coming, I think 2021 will show some slowdown (in the west, probably not as much in japan). still banking on Fall 2022/Winter 2023 for a switch successor
It's more likely to be 6+ than 5 most the successful Nintendo systems were 6 years and this combines two lines so it's actually fairly unique historically. We'll get a refresh most likely but they'll be no rush for a new gen since even Nintendo themselves know how hit and miss they they to be.
Software-wise it'll be very hard to do a 5 year gen even if they wanted to. They filled out the switches first few years with ports from an unsuccessful platform despite only working with one platform. They won't be able to do that again especially with coronavirus messing with dev pipelines so I'd say there's a minimal chance of 5 year lifespan, it's just not feasible even if they wanted to.

2023 is the earliest I can see it.
Especially with this incoming recession I think next gen adoption is gonna be a lot slower than last time. Either way the effect it will have on Switch will be minimal even in 2021 I'd guess.
Yeah, besides I still firmly believe that Nintendo will follow Iwata's initial idea of an expanding brand ala iOS-devices and releasing subsequent revisions and upgrades of the Switch instead of a Switch 2 "restart". Maybe they'll even call it Switch 2 but it won't be like some people are expecting.
Why are people jumping on tbone. I took his comment as playful bragging that he's good at predicting things hence why he "knows" when switch 2 will launch.
Never did I get the feeling he was claiming inside knowledge. Which considering there's not even a switch pro announced yet Nintendo surely don't have a set date themselves.

This is exactly what will happen. The whole point of 'a long shelf life' is to keep sales at 18-20 million a year for as long as they can. They only have one platform so they will want to keep that going strong. Mid gen upgrades will be the way to go and I think they will call it Switch 2 but that's just a guess. Switch might last 20 years but not in traditional console cycles.

That said history doesn't mean much when it comes to Switch, it's not following any trend. It's the first of its kind and Nintendo also wants a longer life cycle for it
You said Fall 2024 which is where I got the 7 years from. I guess I misinterpreted what you were saying about normal life cycles.

Let's face it, the only reason MK8 got ported is because Wii U was a a failure.
At this rate they should just knock out some DLC for MK8D.

Please don't apologise. It was clearly a joke - as soon as I read your post I could tell it was a joke. People here need to stop obsessing over every little thing and especially stop obsessing over so-called insiders. Lighten up, please.
The Tokyo 2020 Olympics will end up only existing in video game form. Too bad, I would have liked to see how high the game would have gone. Maybe they can release a Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games: Tokyo 2020: 2021 Edition.
South Korea is definitively safe. In the case somebody test positive it will be detected and tracked very soon, and all persons that stayed there also tracked and put into quarantine.
The same can't be said about Japan, if somebody gets infected there, he/she won't be tested until after 4 days with high fever and symptoms, giving the virus plenty of time to keep spreading.
At least Japanese people in general are more responsable and also wear masks.
It makes sense for sports games because they can update the roster and make a bunch more money, and the other ones because they don't have any other IP to release.
wow, so according to this switch has had the third best Q4 ever in japan? impressive, especially with the shortages and everything
tbh there's no way it only sells 14-15 million this year, unless things truly take most of the year to resolve stock wise. without the virus, this was looking to be the peak year, it should still be like 17-18 imo

Another low seller IP from Wii U Nintendo shows no interest to give second chance.

Producer Keisuke Kikuchi talks Fatal Frame again, comments on the possibility of Switch remasters
With the lack of Fatal Frame games in recent years, fans have been very much anticipating a new entry. We asked series producer Keisuke Kikuchi about the possibility of the franchise appearing on Switch a few months ago, and while he seemed potentially interested, no promises were made. We saw...

With Switch being their only platform, they will never want to allow 4 years of Switch selling sub 15 million numbers. They will want to keep it as high as possible for as long as possible and that's why they will need new hardware models.
uh oh. that doesn't sound good.Another low seller IP from Wii U Nintendo shows no interest to give second chance.

Yeah what Nintendo counts as a successor to the Switch may count as 'hardware with a new concept' as opposed to a Switch with higher specs. People definitely get hung up on theoretical names too much.
Do you know who owns the Fatal Frame IP. I thought it was co owned with Nintendo and Tecmo but I'm not sure.Another low seller IP from Wii U Nintendo shows no interest to give second chance.

Nintendo has publishing rights, if they don't feel the need to publish, talks don't go anywhere until they do.
It is worth noticing that Mar 2000 had PS2 launch.
Mar 1997, instead: could it possible because of FFVII launch earlier on that skyrocketed PS1 popularity?
Even for a monster IP, that Switch effect still does wonder.
At least I can say I never doubted, even if others said it would be hard, haha.
Crazy how one site misreading the copywrite/trademark portion of a screen caused this much confusion
Yeah I remember that is why I think that March 1997 could be explained with FFVII launch even if the game launched in January.
