Good point. When a console launches in Q1 that year is of course its first.

I don't know as much about the handhelds. I guess time will tell whether Switch peaks early or late(r).

The way I see it Switch should peak next year (year 3) if Nintendo releases the games that are supposed to come out (mainline Pokémon alone should be worth 2 megahits combined like Zelda and Mario).

Yeah. I think you're right.

Anecdotally, I know. But a fully fledged new 3D Pokémon adventure (or a 3D remake of gen 1+2) would make so many people I know buy a Switch. I'm still rocking my 3DS together with my PS4 and PC but will eventually buy a Switch – no later than that home console Pokémon game that I've been longing for for almost 20 years
