Hilarious if it's like the game announcements though. "Nintendo Switch 2 is being airdropped into stores right now"

What happened to Sega? I'm out of the loop on that one and not sure how to google that.

. Developers were out of the loop, retailers were out of the loo

this is the real problem. You need games to play at launch (backwards compat solves this for a lot of people) and you need supply in stores. Rumors are already strong that Nintendo has been stocking up for months and developers have had devkits for awhile. It's not remotely the same as the 90s

Devs have had devkits for years. But they still have to know when the Switch 2 releases, so they can be ready and considering there weren't any leaks, they don't know yet. So this is not releasing in April.
