@@mr_m4613 Remember that PS6 and the 5th generation of Xbox would launch around November 2027.

That makes no sense when you already know the next switch is gonna perform at last gen levels. It’s already gonna be outdated. And that’s already using artificial upscaling as a crutch.

Would be nice to have the Switch successor release sooner rather than later. Especially when Nintendo's current hardware is in dire need of an upgrade. Expect to see more remakes/remasters and ports of older games until their next console releases.
@@cityplanner3063 Why would anyone play 3rd party games on the switch in the first place???? its a much better experience on other consoles. You get a switch to play Nintendo games
Yeah, was actually pretty surprised they didn't have Seth along for this one that was like 100% Nintendo. They've had him on before for way less Nintendo talk than this episode had. They really might want to consider having a three person team with Daemon more often tbh.
Imagine what a 8 years gap between Switch 1 & Switch 2 processor can do. We know that mobile technologies vastly improved every year. Between non customised (Switch 1) vs customised (Switch 2) processor it's gigantic advancement in graphics power & efficiency 💪
Launching it in March 2025 makes sense overall. However, Nintendo may want to find some new game with mass appeal to release in the second half of this year if they don’t want to kill all of the Switch’s remaining momentum for the holidays.
Literally anytime. It will sell like wildfire regardless of when. We’re talking about the best handheld console in the world that has decade old hardware whose fanbase has been dying for a major upgrade.
PS2 is no longer in world wide production? Those are superficial numbers if they were in-production that would be different numbers but it's not in-production.
It's hilarious that YOU suggest that it is a "delay" and that YOU were expecting it to be released in the 2nd half of 2024 when Nintendo has said literally nothing. There's no delay. There's rumors, and we all know what people who spread rumors are like. [cough]
Stop overthinking the Pokemon Legends announcement. Detective Pikachu used the exact same verbage of releasing for Nintendo Switch systems when it was officially revealed.
Why would they announce before Christmas and ruin holiday sales for themselves? The Wii U wasn’t selling and they needed time to build hype. Not this time around :)
When they stop making money off your views & engagement? Yet here you are, contributing like everyone else who claims to hate them but still follows everything they do.
Nintendo needs to be sure that when new Xbox releases and also PS6, then Nintendo needs to be powerful enough to handle ports that developers make for these systems.
I’d love a pokemon game that runs more than 7fps, the national dex, being able to go into buildings like previous gens instead or just menus at the door. For a game that makes billions each release they have the most bare bones pathetic quality imaginable. Done supporting it.
Why is everyone in a rush ? Still got decent games releasing ( even Mario /dk was just releases ) . It’s not like ps/Xbox is releasing anything compelling . March 2025 will be release 100%.
When it sells beyond the PS2 to become the greatest selling console ever. But in terms of business, it’s when the Switch no longer sells, that’s how businesses work. Do IGN know nothing about how businesses work?
No, Switch consoles usually means all variants of the Switch, it can include possible Switch 2, but they already used this terminology before to specify Switch, Switch Lite, etc.
There’s not guarantee that the next console will have a Switch moniker. If it’s a Switch variant then yes, if it’s a next-gen console then will not be Switch-name system.
Not true. They make most of their money on software sales, accessories and services, and scalpers aren't buying those. They want a high attach rate & people buying up tons of software, subscribing to NSO, making eShop purchases, etc. and the more units that are sitting on a scalper's shelves, the less money they make.
You know the gaming industry is dead when you're talking about a gaming console that doesn't even exist yet, completely ignoring the gaming console that's already here
Don’t ever compare this launch with 2020 launches. PlayStation and Xbox had supply issues which made it harder to release an abundant amount at once. There’s no more shortages on anything just a bad economy at the moment so people might struggle more to buy one this time around
When is the right time 2027 when the PS6 is out that should make more then enough Nintendo consoles not to be sold out everyone gets it I’m not in a hurry for scalpers to buy them all out
Not even Nintendo can combat scalpers. If they’re going to drag their heels on releasing competent hardware, they better release a system that isn’t poorly designed and received. (WiiU all over again.)
This is a tricky question, because the arena is about to be filled with a lot more handhelds from different companies. Nintendo is going to be guaranteed lost market share to companies like Valve with the SteamDeck. The biggest thing salvaging Switch 2 is backwards compatibility, if that’s going to be a thing for Switch 2.
Really depends on strategy. First party only for an assumed 7-year prime life cycle, or embracing third party? If the former, doesn’t matter even if performance specs are underpowered. Perhaps same strategy as the Switch. However, if AAA third party games needed over that same time period as other competitors seem to be finding necessary, then Nintendo should delay at all costs to continue to procure more powerful hardware specs. Consumer concept of next gen console gaming is only about 3 years away and will reset the bar which will impact Nintendo one way or the other. Also, Nintendo will find traditional mobile device manufacturers being more competitive in this space as well.
More like, when is the best time to ANNOUNCE a Switch 2.
We don’t even have a codename yet 🤣
Wen will @whatphoto launch switch 2 too🎉😂
Still waiting
January 30th, so you can't return the switch from Christmas 😂
Basically the shortest time possible before it launches, because otherwise it slows sales of the Switch 1
No point cannibalizing sales of a great console to launch its successor undercooked. Launch it when it's ready.

A spring launch also makes sense for a handheld, as people begin to think about getting outside more and traveling.
YOURE HIRED!
If it's fall 2024, Switch2 will have to share the stage with the PS5/XsX. IF in spring 2025 it can have the spotlight all to itself.
GTA6 is coming next year. And Sony will really go hard in terms of marketing and associate GTA6 with PS5 Pro
It isn't and never was coming this year.

Everyone else's opinion matters not.
talking about launch when we dont even know what the switch successor is yet is weird to me
You should put the link to the poll in the description
meh, if they can still put out tears of the kingdom and mario wonder quality games on this switch, what's the rush?
You seen the lineup this year? It's shovelware.
Last year
Why did you have two non-Nintendo specialists on to talk about Nintendo news? What a terrible decision.
Unlike PS5 and XBOX… launch it when it has games worth playing.
Finally, a rational comment.
2025 March/April) launch is perfect, maybe a teaser later this year
I’d love a pokemon game that runs more than 7fps, the national dex, being able to go into buildings like previous gens instead or just menus at the door. For a game that makes billions each release they have the most bare bones pathetic quality imaginable. Done supporting it.
Nintendo can release switch 2 whenever they want but give us big releases for the rest of the year. Its so dry this year man

Hopefully 2 more years
2026 OR 2027 to better coincide with PS6
When the Switch stops selling
when the fire nation attacked probably
When it sells beyond the PS2 to become the greatest selling console ever. But in terms of business, it’s when the Switch no longer sells, that’s how businesses work. Do IGN know nothing about how businesses work?
Still waiting those Prime 2 and 3 to come out....
*Remasters of course*
Hope its backwards compat and improves switch games when u play them on it that would be nice lol
Sooo we're ignoring the Sony layoffs 😂
When it’s ready …….
ready as in out of development?
Right frikin now
It should be early 2025 cause the more we wait the longer we won't know when it will be announced or have a presentation
Announcing Switch 2 prior to 2024 holiday season would cannibalize holiday sales of the Switch 1. Especially if 2 is backwards compatible

Here's a quick answer for you: whenever Nintendo feels like it is.
When is the best and right time to close down ign?
Its like every time since 2000
They never announced any date so how can it be delayed? 🤨
what if that return of the Nintendo Switch 2's front/back camera and microphone in the future
And Nintendo couldn't care less about scalpers as all they do is ensure that product is sold immediately, which is what Nintendo wants!
Nintendo do limited prints of games and fight emulation to keep game prices high. So Nintendo effectively encourages scalping.

Why not have Seth or Logan on to talk about Nintendo?
i’m buying a PS5 Pro if it has significantly higher FPS

It better not fail just like the Wii U did with the original Wii.

It's also very nonprofitable for nintendo, because they sold the console but most of them sitting on scalpers hand not playing games.

June or early July. A Limited supply would make kids want them for the holidays.
