Look i get that
@ItWasMeantToBe19 has a pessimistic outlook on the switch successor release date (2025 or later only makes sense if they cancelled Drake plans around 2022 and had restart from scratch), but it's not being "salty" it's being realistic. Anyone still confidently expecting nintendo to release the successor this calendar year is being unrealistic especially now that nintendo has all but confirmed to investors to not expect any new hardware announcements (or even a price drop, which to me is even crazier than no new hardware), for the current fiscal year.
There is a small, but unlikely chance that nintendo decides to announce something in either October for a spring release or announce in January for an early summer release, but right now the most likely scenario is that Nintendo goes for 2024 holiday season. And Drake being the chipset for the next hardware should no longer be considered a guarantee, althought it's still possible if the main thing holding nintendo back is that they don't have software ready for their next hardware, which would explain their unusually lacking H2 2023 schedule.
