Why would Switch only have a 5 year lifespan? 3DS is in it's 7th year.

And Halo 6 won't be a big system seller as that crowd will already have gotten an Xbone for Halo 5.

I predict Nintendo to make a successor to the Switch after 5 years. I can't see the tech lasting that long with too many newer systems around the corner.

X1 will probably continue to sell. X2 will most likely be part of the X1 family and will continue to add to the sales of X1. Plus than you will have Halo 7 etc..

Doesnt matter if gamers already own an Xbox for Halo. Halo 6 will sell more systems. It will be heavily marketed and bundled plus you also have collectors and gamers that buy more than one console etc. Halo 5 made 500m on launch. Expect similar results with 6 etc.

The tech in the 3DS was even older for its time and 4 newer systems have come out since it's launch, yet it's in Year 7. I see no reason why Switch would have a shorter lifespan.

Halo 5 didn't even boost sales much long term, it did well enough in the holidays but a couple of months later Xbone was back to selling sub-80k weekly. If 5 couldn't change Xbone's fortunes, 6 won't either.
