    “Nintendo WILL announce the Switch 2 in March. Everything I’m hearing dating back to Gamescom last year has indicated something was happening in March. That talk has resurfaced in the past few weeks, and it is indicating that the Switch 2 is set for a reveal or an announcement in March.”

    That’s from the same RELIABLE leaker from a year ago and that’s just the first one I saw. The amount of leakers who claimed it would get announced over the last year is comically large. I guess if you post this once a week eventually you’ll be right. I mean, yeah an announcement seems likely at this point but there’s no need to bring Randomguess McGee into the conversation.

        Nintendo is a corporation. Corporations like money. That is the reason.

        If Gamecube games come out to their service, that will just be their thinly-veiled excuse.

          even with the price increase, they cant realistically do it haphazardly, as the switch has a very low online subcriber rate (~20%) compared to Sony, whos rate sits closer to 80%.

          just increasing the price without offering some feature of value will hurt shareholders trust in nintendo, at least in the longterm.
