But as of today, we’ve know about the Switch for exactly eight years and one day. So, I guess Nintendo weren’t as crazy as everyone thought, when they originally said the console would last for 10 years.

As has been pointed out, Nintendo had nothing to lose, in terms of putting people off buying the Wii U , so it didn’t matter that they announced it just before Christmas . This year is very different though and with the Switch still selling I just cannot believe that anything other than January/February makes sense. But who knows, I certainly wouldn’t put money on any particular prediction.
