    I have heard that dev kits were going out, probably the most credible rumors I’ve heard so far, but unless it’s more like a switch 1.5, I don’t think we’re going to have a holiday 2024 release windows. Unless it’s announced during holiday 2023 I suppose, but I can’t see less than a year of marketing unless it’s more of a deluxe/pro version.

      The Switch was announced in October and released in March and it was plenty of time for hype. A console with this many sales didn’t need a year of hype, I think that long of a wait would do the opposite actually.
