Nintendo Co. is advising game publishers that its next-generation console will be delayed until the early months of 2025, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
“Nintendo is likely looking at a pretty dry pipeline this year,” Toto said. “The company will still try to keep the blockbusters for the next console, so 2024 might see more remakes of old Nintendo hits. In any case, 2024 will be a lot tougher for Nintendo without a new device.”
Publishers need time to develop the software, distributors need time to merchandise and sell the product, retailers need time to prepare the display space.
None of this is instant. A console launch is a year long project.
Well if we were to believe the rumors some developers already had dev kits of it. And that also Nintendo might have done demos to them. Of course nothing is confirmed so take it as you wish.
And again all you said could perfectly been talked it’s not publicl knowledge.
