The names of consoles such as Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch Pro have been circulated on the network, causing problems with the successors of the popular Switch console. But when is the release realistic? We give you a prediction.

The Nintendo Switch will definitely be followed by the new Nintendo console, but Japanese publishers have not announced new devices. The name of Nintendo Switch 2 is already circulating on the network, but the console will definitely have a different name because Nintendo usually does not use the predecessor name and new number to name new devices.

The possible name is still a mystery, but when a new console appears-predictions are possible. Nintendo boss Shutaro Furukawa said in the company's financial report that there will be no new switch model in 2020. Only three years after the release of the popular Switch, it is unlikely anyway.

This release period is possible

But at what point is it realistic to release a new console? If you look at the release time of Wii [2006], Wii U [2012] and Switch [2017], the interval between console releases is five to six years. If Nintendo keeps that pace, you can use a new console Between 2022 and 2023

If Switch's technology upgrade models are still satisfying dealers, the release can be further delayed. Nintendo may decide to release "Switch Pro" with stronger hardware, just like Sony did on PS4 and PS4 Pro. This will further extend the "life cycle" of the Nintendo Switch system.

For the next generation Nintendo console, you will need to wait for a while-so it is still worth buying the current Nintendo Switch. If you absolutely want new hardware, take a look at PS5 and Xbox SeriesX. Both devices will be available by the end of 2020.
