I’d put money on 2024 at the earliest. Don’t want to ruin a holiday game sales season by basically giving customers a reason not to buy stuff this holiday and save for the fancy new console. Announcing early 2024 will allow people to still do that saving over the year (assuming a holiday 2024 launch) while not potentially sabotaging this year’s sales.
Nintendo CEO replied to an investor than the NX was revealed so early because they had a partnership with Dena for mobile games and they needed to send a signal that they were not going to stop selling new consoles but it was a special case. I expect this time they’ll be just a couple months between announcement and release.
Phew, Switch was 2 years between announcement and release, roughly 18 months between WiiU announce and Release, Similar to the Wii.
So If I had to guess, they’ll either Announce in the September Nintendo Direct, or the one following, start of 2024
