I guess technically saying "We're making a new thing" and then repeatedly "We're not talking about it" for a year counts as teasing, but it wasn't exactly marketing.That's where I am. Nintendo needs to hype this thing up for a whole year long, starting with early in the year, launching in late fall. In 2024. Everyone's forgetting about how Nintendo started teasing Switch with NX mention years ago. The upcoming console was confirmed and Nintendo kept teasing it. For the successor, Nintendo might need a whole year to ramp up some hype in the mainstream crowd.
Ideally you don't wait until there's an obvious decline before something is done about it. One device's slope down can match with the next device's slope up, keeping numbers high. Sony seems to have done a good job of this with PS4 to PS5, though it's kind of hard to see the specifics of each system's performance since they are only reporting combined PS4+PS5 software.Does it? They still have strong software, no need for a successor, and even in 2024 it isn’t going to decline to zero.
