Recently, domestic leaker @荷姆荷姆嗼, who accurately predicted Nintendo Direct in June this year and the showcased line-up, has posted a series of intelligence related to the new console Switch 2 on Weibo. Since December 21st, he has continuously posted multiple Weibo posts, and the content has aroused heated discussions among netizens. Some foreign players pointed out after interpretation that these posts seem to be related to the Fibonacci sequence and further speculated that these numbers are actually a countdown, and the time point finally points to January 8, 2025.
Some netizens believe that this date may imply the public announcement time of Switch 2. Earlier this year, @荷姆荷姆嗼 had revealed that Switch 2 may be released in January 2025 and officially launched in March. It is worth noting that his other account once mentioned that Foxconn’s November financial report shows that a batch of assembled Switch 2 consoles have been delivered to Nintendo, and Nintendo seems to have started stocking up. If this news is true, it is different from Nintendo’s traditional strategy of ‘announcing first and then mass-producing’. This may mean that the interval from the release to the sale of Switch 2 will be very short. Although these revelations are intriguing, like any rumor, we still recommend maintaining a cautious attitude until officially confirmed by Nintendo.
