    They won’t show it before the holiday season. It would cause some potential Switch buyers to just wait for the new one.

      Almost 7 years later you would think everyone who wants one, already got one.

      Sales are already declining. And if Switch 2 has full backward compatibly it wouldn’t at least hurt sales of games since those games will run the same but hopefully better on the new hardware.

      Without backward compatibly some people might skip games in order to save it for the new hardware

    They’re going to be rumored to show it off at every trade event ever. But, really, they’ll just have their own presentation whenever they want, like they always do.

    For whatever reason, the fact that these “news” sites keep latching onto blatant rumors annoys me. I seem to find rumors completely useless.

    I find it highly unlikely, Gamescom isn’t a really big event and lately Nintendo tends to announce stuff with their own directs. But hey, it might still happen, who knows.

    With the reports of Metroid Prime 4 having to restart development from scratch and getting no news after that, the switch successor speculation is really starting to add up.
