It seems that the launch of Nintendo Switch 2 it was postponed to the 2025and if confirmed it would be really bad news: not only for the Kyoto house, but also for the gaming industry as a whole.
It is no coincidence that a prominent analyst such as Mat Piscatella said it: Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025 would be devastating for this year's market, which as we know is dealing with the consequences of an increasingly evident crisis.
This is demonstrated by the many layoffs carried out over the last several months, due in some ways to the normalization of the number of drug addicts during the pandemic period, in others to a model that no longer seems sustainable not even for its main actors.
From this point of view, PlayStation and Xbox seem to have reached the same conclusions: although the concept of exclusivity is important for identity purposes, depriving oneself of a large portion of users for mere reasons of principle today does not represent the best strategy and it is therefore necessary to open up, even if only partially.
Here, in such an uncertain scenario the launch of Nintendo Switch 2 would have brought order and revived enthusiasmhelping to make the entire industry grow again and fuel the flame of a passion that we cannot afford to let fade away.
So will it be a maintenance 2024?
The biggest fear is that the postponement of Nintendo Switch 2, apparently due to a delay in game development which would have constituted the launch line-up of the console, has left the Japanese company exposed to a 2024 which at this point could prove to be one of pure and simple maintenance.
Yes, we have confirmation of the arrival of two first party Xbox games such as Pentiment and Grounded, for the moment with a big question mark regarding the much rumored Hi-Fi RUSH, as well as the other announcements of third party titles made during the last Nintendo Direct, but i Nintendo first party?
Those they might actually be missing due to the resources used for a launch which, apparently, will not take place before next year. How do you see this situation? What does Nintendo Switch look like for 2024? Let's talk about.
