I don’t fancy their odds with the switch 2 coming out and eating their hype cycle. Have a feeling people would view this more as an xsx pro than a full generational upgrade. I honestly don’t think Xbox stock has ever been lower so they better hope this doesn’t flop (or perhaps hope that Sony does something really dumb with the PS6 launch, which admittedly is far from out of the question).

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.
