Gamasutra- Microsoft is rumored to be readying a low-cost "Xbox TV" console focused more on entertainment than games, but will the move confuse customers? Or will it ease the transition to a likely-expensive Durango?
This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.
I'm excited for a switch 2 however I don't feel it will be coming this year as per the tweet in they are commuting to a reveal in this Japanese financial year in 2025.
Realistically we will get one last holiday season to focus on the switch because it would be madness for Nintendo to go into the holidays where the switch always performs well when they have announced a switch 2.
I'm thinking we see a announcement late Jan 25 personally with a release between March and June depending on when the software is ready and how strong the holday sales were if they need to boost those figures for the next earnings call or not
It should be an interesting year; Sony, Nintendo, and MS all have new Hardware to show.
With the Perfect Dark reboot set to launch later this year, it's time to look back at Perfect Dark Zero, nearly 20 years later.
At the rate xbox is going you'll have another 20 years to play the original before the reboot arrives

This will not work. A low cost console with high media and social focus but less game focus(sounds like the Xbox 360) will only appeal to casuals and not the hardcore. The casuals will not pay to use free media and social features. The only reason people pay for XBL is to unlock the online portion of the games they bought. The casuals who buy the cheaper media answer social focused Xbox don't care about online multi player. Won't work.
No it won't, ask Sony and all the Xbox fanboys that were bashing Blu-ray and all the added features of PS3, stating they were all "not needed!!!!"
Now MS is going that route? Sony will for sure take the move of undercutting the price. Not only that you are saying Sony doesn't have access to a lot more media thanks to their giant company, and won't fight to get the same media? Then add in the fact its FREE to access it ALL on PSN and not Live....
Will buy one just to be able to pass judgment on it, cause unless you have tried it first hand you have no reason to judge or badmouth . Also talking the word of a friend ,family member, journalist is not the same as hand on experience.
nothing to see here folks. Until this has been confirmed by MS, this is all BS.
If it doesn't focus on gaming then why bother having an "xbox" title on the name? These companies focus to much on the entertainment media part of things and forget about the games.
