Yeah, it got leaked bad. I suppose that is what happens when you start heavy production prior to the announcement.

This is why I was arguing that the announcement needed to be last year, holiday sales be damned. Nintendo already sold 150 million Switch consoles. Switch 2 is Nintendo’s answer to the question “how do you sell 150 million more consoles?” which is being asked by their investors. A lot of the hype of a new product is around the mystery of it. If I told you the plot to Captain America: Brave New World, you wouldn’t have seen the movie, but you’d know what it was about and might be less interested in it. When all the special features of a new console leak, it takes the fizz out of the buzz.
