In a one-two punch for my wallet, rumor has it Sony's PS5 Pro and a revamped Nintendo Switch console will share a similar launch window.
Noted leaker segamega99 claims in a rather cryptic tweet that both consoles will release "soon" without specifying exactly when that may be. That's apparently based on intel from a wholesale retailer source, who said Sony and Nintendo are manufacturing large quantities of both consoles for wholesalers, presumably to reach the market around the same time.
Rumors about both the PS5 Pro and a new Switch console have circulated for years now, so it's important to take all this with a grain of salt.
The same leaker posted back in April that the next Nintendo console will have The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, and Splatoon games "at launch." Whether that would be new releases or existing titles upgraded for the new hardware wasn't clear. Our guess is the latter for obvious reasons. Splatoon 3 launched less than a year ago, and the highly anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom releases in just a few weeks. Both series typically have years-long development cycles, so it'll be a while yet before a new entry comes out.
