Jesus Mary and Joseph just announce the fucking thing already. GamesCom was perfect to do so and they want to wait longer.
Switch sales are in the decline so now would be the time to do it.
I wonder if the rumor that “Nintendo is waiting for the Yen to go up again so their localized profits outside of Japan aren’t halfed.” Is true
No reason to announce it when it’s well over a year before launch. If you believed any false rumors to the contrary, then that’s your fault.
They’re waiting that the tech is becoming the past gen. They can’t launch something from the current gen, it must be 3-4 gens behind and compensate that with their coding geniuses that can still make masterpieces with the limited resources available. Maybe it’s going to be something as powerful as an iPhone 11 would be mind-blowing 🤯
If it’s still 9 months away, there’s no real reason to announce it publicly before the Christmas season. The fact that the original Switch’s sales are flagging is not a reason to announce, since it’s not launching in time for the holidays. Its announcement isn’t going to spurr Switch 1 sales.
When it’s announces will be entirely deoendent on when retailers need to know launch details. Once it’s outside of Nintendo, they’ll have to announce things publicly or risk losing control over the narrative.
