@IceClimbers Late May I was specifically thinking Splatoon 3 because of the 3 month seasons. The next season update will release on May 31st (in preparation for the season start on June 1st) so I think they'd release Side Order the same day given how they approached the Inkopolis DLC. Then MK8 Deluxe wave 5, XC3 wave 4 and FE Engage wave 4 releasing at some point in June.
chipset of Nintendo Switch sucessor could be in the process of production right now.
All of which cold be true, or more than likely none of it lol. That chip is/has been rumored for at least 2 years.
I'm hoping Nintendo just sticks to what has worked. Tired of day one 52gb patches followed up with a 70gb patch. My series X is going away I can say that lol.
Ya know, I would probably sell my XSX and PS5 if not for the fact I stacked Gamepass for 5 years (3 banked + 2 yrs attached to system as part of 18 month payment deal thingy), and if not for all the digital games I already bought for PS4 (and a couple PS5 games). Feels like sunk cost at this point, and I know that's a fallacy but, even though I never use them and they just sit there I always think I might one day in the future. Heck, I would probably even sell my gaming PC too if not for the fact I like having a PC just in case.
Portable gaming ruined everything but Switch and Steamdeck for me, and hybrid gaming mostly ruined everything but Switch. Come next gen with Switch 2, I'm going Nintendo only I think. I just lost all desire to play games anywhere else. If it ain't hybrid, it doesn't appeal to me. No matter how good a game may look, seeing it TV-only makes me write it off no different than if it were a mobile game.
I'll still keep the latest SteamDeck on hand though I think, because it is after all a portable, it offers gyro across the board, and can serve as a good backup for any must-play games that don't come to Switch 2. I've just found that... over the years the list of games I feel are "must play", when they're not full hybrid experiences, is pretty thin. Unless it's a new Monster Hunter, I probably won't get around to playing it, even with the handheld portability of Steamdeck. It's just not enough anymore to be handheld. It's better than being stuck on the TV at home, that's for sure, and it will at least get me to fire the game up at launch, but... I need my games to be full hybrid to hold my interest. I need TV when I want TV, handheld when I want handheld, tabletop when I want tabletop.
If a day ever comes Nintendo goes in a different direction and stops offering hybrid gaming, Idk what I'd do. I think it would honestly break me. I need it. It's not just a side benefit, or a bonus, or a neat little aside. It's an essential, core part of my basic needs to enjoy this hobby moving forward. Going backward would feel like being forced to use a landline after using a smartphone for the last decade. If I had no choice, I'd probably stick with handhelds at the very least, but even then I imagine the time I spend gaming would drastically decrease. At least for future games. I'd probably keep my Switch OLED for the rest of my life and just play backlog on that.

I mean PS5 is still a great machine to play.
Just because you are already comfort with portability, it doesn't mean the non portable gaming devices are suck.
I personally like both portable and non portable gaming devices. They have their own signature games I can consider to play.
@JaxonH dont do this to yourself, if you have resouces to continue playing all the consoles keep them, you never know, when a game of your dreams could come to your PS5 or Xbox Series/X, is always good to have at least two consoles to play all the release we desire
Nintendo + PC, all you need. Been my approach since forever and certainly more true now than it has ever been
I'm different.
I like to play almost every game consoles and handhelds so I have a lot of Nintendo and PlayStation games collection since every consoles have their signature games.
Almost done with Metroid Fusion now, and still at the end of Metroid Prime Remastered.
These games fulfilled something in me I haven't felt in a while, and depression is starting to seep in knowing they won't last much longer. I want more. If Zero Mission came to Switch Online, that would extend the euphoria, but even that would be over soon enough.
What I need... is Metroid Prime 2 Echoes. That's what I need. On Switch. I could fire it up on Wii U... but its not hybrid, and not having dual analog is a huge turn off. I could play it on SteamDeck with PrimeHack, but it starts stuttering at 5 fps after 20 min of playtime, requiring a reboot to fix. That's the sort of thing they fail to mention when singing the praises of using Deck for PrimeHack.
No... I need it on Switch. And I'm not sure any other game is going to be fulfilling until I get it. I look at my backlog of banger after banger- never finished Fire Emblem Engage, Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Octopath Traveler 2, Triangle Strategy, Persona 4 Golden, Persona 5 Royal, Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII... on and on and on.
But none of these games are appealing to me right now... I want Metroid. I need more of it. I need Metroid Prime 2 Echoes. With dual analog gyro. On Switch. That's what I need. Ugggh this sucks

@Anti-Matter
It's never been about "being bad", it's about being inadequate once your eyes have been opened to a more excellent way.
You wouldn't understand. Your gaming life hasn't been fundamentally transformed by the freedom to play how, whenever and wherever you want. Such a person could not possibly hope to relate.
