In the past few days, there have been rumors circulating that game developers have been told not to expect Nintendo\u2019s next-generation console during the current fiscal year. This was followed by a report<\/a> from Toyo Securities analyst Hideki Yasuda (as relayed by Takashi Mochizuki<\/a>) that predicts that the Switch successor will launch in the first half of next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on these two factors, it could be assumed that the new console\u2019s launch window is between April (when the new fiscal year begins) and June 2025. The report also mentions that Nintendo will price the Switch\u2019s successor at $499 or under, which could potentially put it at a steep price point for Japanese buyers due to the yen\u2019s value against the dollar.\u00a0The console’s performances are expected to be at the level of the PS4 Pro or under.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
