It feels like we're getting toward the end of the switch life cycle, but sales are still strong and Nintendo probably would love to hold onto this install base they have. Wonder if we get some acknowledgement of that life cycle or potentially a new console soon.

Honestly I hope it's just a Switch 2. I know Nintendo likes to really think outside the box and do different things with their consoles (DS, Wii, Wii U, Switch), but the Switch is basically the coolest gaming device ever. When they showed that the controllers came off and there was a kickstand so you could play Mario Kart with friends wherever, it blew my mind.

Just update the hardware and fix the joycon drift, and I'll be happy.

Maybe, but unlikely. I've seen a couple articles about it being likely next year. Nintendo wants to sell most of their current stock first.

Here's a link to most of the rumors
