@Grumblevolcano Ehh, I don't think it will, neither of these feel like Switch 2 hype drivers.
Gen 10 hype is probably not picking up until summer, Game Freak typically doesn't reveal much about the new games until then and the trailers before are more like vague teasers. SV, for example, only showed snippets of gameplay until August when they gave us a full blowout, and for past games we usually didn't get the full blowout until June. We are likely not going to learn enough about Gen 10 on Pokemon Day for it to tide fans over during Spring.
As for the Galaxy movie, movies and movies. It's a different medium. There's probably not enough crossover to get people excited about the movies to go out and buy a Switch 2 if they're not already interested.
Honestly with November already being bad, if December was bad too then 1H 2026 (and possibly longer if they don't make the right announcements) is going to feel pretty dire. I just don't see things turning around until they announce a megaton game that isn't Gen 10 Pokemon.
Yeah, Switch 2 lite seems very unlikely to me anytime soon. In terms of hardware I could imagine a Zelda or Pokemon themed Switch 2 this year for the anniversaries, but I doubt anything else.
