With recent game releases and more expected in the coming months, one of the most significant reasons for this delay could actually spell bad news for Sony and Microsoft. It seems that Nintendo is delaying the release on purpose and preparing a stellar lineup of games that will not only enhance the current Switch library but also lay a robust foundation for the upcoming console.
