Rumor: Nintendo Switch Successor Enters Manufacturing, Featuring An Oled Variant In Development

Discerning reality from speculation is quite challenging when it comes to the anticipated Nintendo Switch's sequel device. For years, enthusiasts have been piecing together the intricate mystery, treating each tidbit of information—even when flawed—as a step closer to a formal reveal. The sole unequivocal fact is the lack of an official statement; yet it is also recognized that keen observers are tracking industry patterns, often reaching well-substantiated inferences. This could be one such instance.

OreXda, an insider with a history of on-target forecasts concerning reports, components, and hardware manufacturing in Asia—particularly regarding Samsung—now asserts in a publication that the "Nintendo Switch 2" has commenced its preliminary phase of production. "Significant agreements have been settled within the component sector for the initial production stage." Notably, the insider also mentions the concurrent production of two versions: one equipped with LCD displays and another with OLED screens, both of which are supplied by Samsung.

However, skepticism arises with his subsequent revelation. He suggests that the Switch's successor would be ready for market launch in the latter half of 2024 rather than early 2025, as others have prognosticated.

Our insights, grounded more on the collective data amidst us than on speculated inventory preparations by Nintendo for 2024, propose that the console may indeed be market-ready by the year-end holidays. Nonetheless, in striving for a formidable roster of launch titles, Nintendo may opt to shift the release into early or mid-2025. Notably, Nintendo is prepping a fresh financial briefing for the second week of May, which might shed further light on these speculations before then.
