The following info is extremely vague, and
only fit for entertainment purposes. If vaguebooking frustrates you, feel free to skip.
Short version: On Tuesday buyer uncle encountered a leak that shookt him. His cryptic tweets seem to be related to either Nintendo or Sony’s console models. The timing led him to suspect an announcement at the Tokyo Game Show.
Long version: At 1:04 PM on Sep. 5th (Japan time), buyer uncle posted the following
tweet.
Based on his past tweeting pattern (
example), I think that “某〇〇” mean “某機種” (certain console model). If so, the tweet can be translated to: “A surprising disclosure regarding a certain console model. Confidentiality?”
23 minutes later he posted an
update:
“It has been corrected, hastily. This is peculiar.”
55 more minutes passed and he
tweeted:
“〇－ムショウ” is obviously “ゲームショウ” (Tokyo Game Show), and “〇〇〇” is likely either “任天堂” (Nintendo) or “ソニー” (Sony). The translation would be: “That thing was corrected, but one would notice before [Nintendo or Sony fixed it]. Perhaps they’ll announce it at the Tokyo Game Show. I don’t know.”
My interpretation is that buyer uncle saw something regarding a certain console model on his wholesale ordering system. The info was so surprising that he immediately questioned its confidentiality. Lo and behold the info was hastily fixed (modified or deleted? unclear) in the system, causing buncle to suspect that it wasn’t a simple mistake. His last tweet seems to suggest it being a Nintendo or Sony product. Possibly due to the timing, he speculated that the info may be revealed at the Tokyo Game Show.
Personally I believe that it’s too early to see the Switch NG in the wholesale system. A few potential explanations include a new PS5 revision, end-of-life for Switch v2, or permanent price cut for a Nintendo/Sony model. There’s not enough to go on, but fun to chew on.
