That't awesome! It always amazes me how fast Nintendo dropped the DS and Wii. I remember being kind of mad about it at the time. This would also mean that the Switch will have a long tail in hardware sales just like the 3DS or even better. A sales curve of the Gameboy. 12 years of Switch here we come!

The DS lasted 7 years without a successor and still had some high-profile releases even after the 3DS released, how is that fast?

DS-Nov 2004

3DS-Feb 2011

 

Thats just over 6 years, not 7
