With the recent news of Nintendo revealing their "next gen" console by the end of the fiscal year... one question emerges:

Will you be buying their next Console?

But wait... don't y'all here hate Nintendo?
I'm curious because... with the recent DMCA strikes, and the now standard "gamer" anthem: "iTs mOraLly cOrReCt tO pIraTe NIntEndO gAmEs", I'm wondering how many of you are actually going to keep supporting Nintendo, so y'all can show Nintendo how much you hate Nintendo.

Also, just today Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has been declared as the best selling Nintendo game ever. I guess your "morally correct piracy" isn't making that much of an impact in Nintendo... 🤔

As for myself... the last time I actually bought a Nintendo console and legit games was in 2011, when I got a Nintendo 3DS and Digital copies of Colors!, Zelda OoT 3D and Street Fighter IV 3D.
So it's been over a decade Nintendo has seen money out of my pockets.
I've missed 2 "generations" of games now and I'm very interested in Nintendo's next underpowered console.
So it's a yes from my side... depends actually on how overpriced the console is. A WiiU alone is above 700USD in my country (yes, still)...

If the rumours are actually correct, I can't wait to play Zelda Remakes running in Unreal Engine, Mario Kart with possible actual HDR, RTX, and 4K resolution, whatever Sakurai comes up with with the next Smash Bros. and definitely Metroid Prime 4.
With that aside, time has shown us that early consoles are worth more than newer revisions, and.at the same time, Nintendo's tradition to release revisions.
The 3DS alone had 7, so if we're talking about a supposed Rev-1 Console close to PS4 capabilities, imagine how good a late Rev-N console could get.

What about you guys?

As much as I dislike Nintendo for the DMCA strikes and whatnot, I am a NIntendo fan and I'm obligated to be like the others to purchase their new console.

They better have themes, online gaming akin to the 3DS/WIIU, and actual great games put into the console

I will probably buy one, I own one of every console by now. But I am under no rush to throw my money at the screen at launch. I got the Wii U after it got discontinued, and I got the Switch six years into it's life cycle. I got my first Wii this year and a Game Cube last year. So, whenever I feel that the library / my money is worth the investment I'll get one.
Might be a pretty limited edition, might be a regular one if the games are interesting enough, entirely depends on what Nintendo does with it.

Unless Switch 2 launches with some game I'm just dying to play, I will do the same thing I did when the original Switch was announced: Pre-order it and leave it un-opened for months until someone hacks it. I have more than enough of a games backlog to keep me busy.

Nah, think I'm done with consoles. Nintendo is out of ideas, releases almost exclusively remakes and remasters these days. Switch 2 will be easy to emulate for the few originals I feel the need to play. All their third-party ports are released on Steam two years earlier.

I'm a Nintendo fan. I have no choice there. Probably going to end up buying two of whatever it is.

I think this poll need a few "undecided" options:

1 - Depends on the price
2 - Depends on the launch library

Are two I can think of. You've covered both conditions very nicely in the OP. I think a simple yes/no isn't really going to provide any particularly useful data.

I'm also assuming you're asking who's going to buy it at launch? As opposed to 'at some time'?

Yes definatly could use a couple more options to choose...but I will probably buy 2 even though they no longer make games...hell switch barely has any 1st party games and even fewer of the type I like to play...but what can I say other than I like to collect them. 😉

Wii U prices in your country are nuts... I'm afraid to even ask how much does the regular Switch cost?

In any case, I'm still going to buy their consoles in the foreseeable future, especially if they are exploitable and CFW and backup loading is possible. Games? Well, depending on the prices, I might buy a few. My game collection isn't really big: 1 GameCube, 1 DS, ~20 Wii, ~15 Wii U and 6 Switch games so far.

I'll definitely buy the Switch successor as soon as it becomes available. As for the price, I only hope it won't be too high so that I can buy one more console. ^^

I was planning to before any of the supposed leaks. Couldn't care less if it still runs at 30fps and 1080p as long as the games are fun, but I'll wait until there's a good discount, so probably 2 or 3 years after launch.
