The new Nintendo Switch might not be a new console in the traditional sense.
According to Dr. Serkan Toto of Kantan Games, via GamesIndustry.biz, his firm doesn’t think the next Nintendo console will be all that revolutionary. Instead, it’ll appear to be more like a pro model than something major.
“The next system is also likely to be an iteration rather than a revolution,” Toto said. “Nintendo might add some bells and whistles to the device, but it will be similar to the current Switch.”
In addition to his prediction of the console not being a major step forward, Toto says that he feels the console will be $400, a $100 jump from the price of the original Nintendo Switch. There’s also a belief that games will move to the $70 price point, which Nintendo started to do with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. At the time, the company said the price point would be on a game-by-game basis as opposed to a one-price-fits-all model.
It’s worth noting that this is pure speculation from a consulting firm as opposed to anything concrete. Nintendo has refused to mention anything specific about its next console, and likely won’t until the company decides to do the reveal.
The next Nintendo Switch console was reportedly shown behind closed doors at Gamescom back in August. The console has been long-rumored and is expected, to be revealed at some point this year.

Woof. How on earth did this take happen? We’ve known the switch 2 hardware for over a year now.
An iteration is more powerful hardware, like psx > ps2 > ps3 > ps4 > ps5.
A revolution is something that fundamentally changes how the games are designed/played gamecube > wii > wii u.
He’s saying their won’t be any stupid gimmick forced into the switch 2.
It makes sense Nintendo is backing down when you see how f’ed up things have been since Covid and Bidenonomics which have made corporations bot at home and abroad more scared then relieved especially with all the tensions going on. 2024 is already opening up to bombs and war.
In such uncertain times the LAST thing you do is take huge risks with a new machine people likely are not going to afford. Most do NOT have disposable incomes anymore and many never actually did.
It was a made up word on the internet to represent a select few with loud voices. Most people are barely struggling paycheque to paycheque just to pay the landlady. Inflation is at an all time high and the only higher inflation was 1920s Germany prior to Nazism when millions of ‘Franks’ were printed and people stole the wheel barrow leaving all the money within behind dumping it all.
The only year worst then 2023 is 538AD when several super volcanos blotted out the sun and it shown no greater then the power of the moon and a mysterious fog crept all over Europe for months and months. Hailstones and snow in Beijing in May wrecked crops and deep frosts penetrated even in June.
