I wish I still shared the hope some of you do. Regarding TotK OLED, if Drake is a simultaneous launch with that game, I find it hard to believe they’d sell a SE OLED for the game they’re also using to promote and drive sales of their new hardware.
If I decouple Drake from TotK, a launch in 2023 seems more plausible, I admit. Although I’m not sure why they wouldn’t have done a TotK launch if it’s coming months later.
But more importantly for a 2023 CY launch, I can’t square it with Nate saying his H1 2023 hardware was shelved. I know there’s a lot of question marks we have about what Nate knows that will be cleared up in his podcast, but even with that one data point we do have from him - H1 2023 device shelved - in the event Drake still releases this year, Nintendo shelved one device for H1 this year and replaced it with another months later?
I don’t know. If there’s some context or faulty logic here that I’m missing or mixing up from the roller coaster that has been the past week, happy to be corrected.
I do still have some hope until we hear Nate’s podcast. I want this device in 2023 still, bad!
