Nintendo Switch 2 could hit the market in 2024

The analyst Piers Harding-Rolls predicted for GamesIndustry.biz the existence of Nintendo Switch 2 for 2024. What would be the next console of the Big N of videogames has been falling for years with expectations that intend to be high, and that is what, although the original model is a very good idea and concept, it is no less true that using logic one can see the points where there is room for improvement.

The last thing we reported on this subject was the alleged internal cancellation of the Nintendo Switch Pro, and it is that the turbulent context in which we live and inflation have made the launch of new products in 2023 an unattractive idea. Indeed, Intel would have considered canceling the launch of Meteor Lake processors aimed at home environments and replacing them with a Raptor Lake coolant, and it is that the latest data on hardware shipments indicate a sharp drop and that 2023 has many options o worst year in history.

Piers Harding(a famous insider) said: ...“We do not expect a next generation Nintendo console in 2023: we have 2024 in our predictions”... This person already predicted that the PlayStation 5 would outsell the Xbox Series, something that at the time it sounded bold because Microsoft had apparently played its cards better. He also claimed at the time that there would be no Nintendo Switch Pro in 2022, which turned out to be the case. Taking no one for a prophet, Harding-Rolls seems to have good information and an eye. On the other hand, the appearance of the presumed Nintendo Switch 2 by 2024 may be an indication that the sector is more optimistic for the next year.

We'll see what Nintendo shows with the Switch 2. If the company decides to continue betting on NVIDIA at the processor level, it's obvious that the inclusion of DLSS would be a great value for the console plus seeing that the green giant's supersampling technology has proven to be capable of greatly improving performance while paving the way to support higher resolutions.
