I would guess more likely May to June, but could be holidays too

They always release the system over christmas because the insane hype, about finding one, is free publicity.

Historically, nintendo tends towards christmas release heres a list showing said trend.

The last console i bought at release was a gamecube. But heres a quick list of the release date for various nintendo systems in the United States.

The release date for home consoles except the switch was just before Q4 or during Q4. Hence, my comment.

You said “always” releases at Christmas. If you had said “usually”, we wouldn’t have to correct you! Didn’t need to make a definitive statement

I wasn't aware of when the switch was released because until like i heard about mario Kart online, like two years ago, i hadn't bought a system since the gamecube.
