This feels to me a bit like when the 3DS got announced shortly after the DS Lite. So I am going to take my time and wait to hear more of the new features that can set it apart before getting too excited.
I am kind of curious what direction will the Zelda franchise take now. it feels so up in the air.

Read from VGC:
Sean’ previously worked in the sales and retail department at Nintendo‘s US arm, and recently appeared with his former colleagues on the Kit and Krista podcast to share insight into the company’s sales strategy.
“They’re going to want the system to be out before the end of the summer. I would say at the start of the summer, at the end of the school year, so you have kids talking about what they’re excited for,” he said.
“I think we’ll see a June launch. I’m thinking maybe mid-June, or a little bit later than that. But definitely before the end of the summer, that thing’s coming out… there are good strategic reasons why that would be part of the consideration.”
The former Nintendo employee was also asked about alleged retail leaks regarding Switch 2’s release date and price, and dismissed the notion that retailers have any advance knowledge of plans.
Asked what retailers know about Switch 2, Sean replied: “Nothing. Nothing. Certainly not price. Almost certainly not any kind of launch date other than maybe a quarter. It always makes me laugh to see these articles like, ‘Walmart Canada says the price is going to be this’… Walmart Canada are the last people who are going to know.”

I still say a fall release for Switch 2.
Read from tweaktown:
Nintendo has reportedly produced and shipped nearly 383,000 Nintendo Switch 2 units to the US, with shipments including 41,598 charging grips. Manufactured by HVBG, these charging grips are not bundled with the console.
According to reports from Universo Nintendo, which cites recent statements from LiC on the Famiboards forums, which has been tracking shipments of cartons and instruction manuals, Nintendo has already completed 383,000 Nintendo Switch 2 units. These units have reportedly already been shipped to the US between January 17 and January 22, meaning they have likely already arrived on US soil. LiC goes on to claim these boxes were all tagged with US/Canada region code and were also accompanied by 41,598 units of the charging grip.
LiC states a Vietnamese manufacturer called HVBG that, was contracted by Nintendo, shipped these units, and the Switch 2's charging grip product code is BEE-A-ESSKA, which is similar to the Switch 1's charging grip's product code HAC-A-ESSKA. The info doesn't stop there as LiC states HVBG has already received 1.7 million units of the one-per-system parts, such as the System-on-Chip (SoC) and screen as of December last year, with 100% of those soon-to-be-completed systems expected to arrive in the US after completion.
Lastly, LiC says the shipping manifesto confirms at least one thing: the console set isn't a bundle. This means the charging grip won't be included in the box with the Nintendo Switch 2. It will likely be separate, as it was with the original Switch.
