Pretty much everyone is claiming that, at this point. No one has a solid source on their claim though. Its all on Nintendo now to prove it, or a leaker to release images or something.

No public sources yet, but there are positive whispers from anonymous people in the electronics supply industry. Companies that make boards, chips, screens, that kinda stuff. That plus the fact that the original Switch launched in 2017 is enough for me to believe the new one is on the way.

It's not that I don't believe it, it just seems silly for all these sites to keep saying so, without anything to add. Just jumping on the bandwagon for clicks.

I agree. There seems to be a job in the industry called "Professional Guesser". It's like those companies/people who say, "Barbie Vs Kong" is expected to make $76m at the box office this weekend. How can you possibly know?

As long as people keep getting paid to make predictions, they will keep making paid predictions
