The Switch 2 and this console will be separated by about a year.
Well we still don't have a date on it and many previous Nintendo launches have had demand way outstrip supply, leading to the new console being a pretty hot item way past initial launch date.
Rumor has it that's exactly why this launch got delayed. It's been in production for months now.
shrug I guess we'll see but I don't think it's at all far fetched to think that more people will be lining up and saving for a switch 2 compared to a new xbox, even a year after the launch. The switch is one of the most successful consoles of all time and I don't see any indication that demand for the switch 2 will be softer.
I think it'll be softer for a number of reasons, but "softer than one of the most successful consoles of all time" is still a high bar to clear.
