The Nintendo Switch had a pretty tumultuous end for 2022 with the launch of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet becoming troublesome, and players pointing the finger at the nearly six-year-old hardware. According to one industry analyst, the next console from Nintendo won’t be coming out very soon to reduce problems that fans have.
It’s important to know that Harding-Rolls was right in two previous 2022 predictions, as well as naming the Switch the best-selling console of the year – and also, before the Switch could have been redesigned, so it’s not an exception to the previous 40 years.
Even though it is important to know that they are still predictions, professional analysts pore over lots and tons of data to make educated assumptions, there is an acceptable chance that these predictions will come true. Because the Nintendo Switch will turn seven in March 2024 and the Nintendos typical five or six-year console cycle is supposed to be completely predictable. A switch follow-up in 2024 may even be late if you see that all previous consoles with the consoles as well as the old fashioned one with the gameCube-era had a six-year gap.
The Legend of Xelda: Thumbnails of the Kingdom will release late this year, so the Nintendo Switch doesn’t slow down in delivering blockbuster titles, but the divide between the Switch and the other big consoles is going to rise at the end of 2023.
The next console’s shape is unknown, but it wouldn’t hurt the gaming giant to start using the Steam Deck a little bit and continue as long as they run the handheld route.
