Look at those two examples I gave, PS3 & 360 sold 5.5 & 4 million in the years after PS4 & XBO released. Even Wii which was known for having an extreme drop sold another 2.5 million in the years after Wii U released. DS sold like 11 million after 3DS released. PSP sold like 7 million after Vita released.
If Switch is at 79 million when its successor released it should sell very close to 85 million.
Also a 2021 release is only 4 years after Switch, does that really sound realistic to you? |
All true. But none of that will happen if what I think will happen happens. Its something nintendo has done twice before, first with the GBC and then with the 3DS. Its also why I believe it will happen after 4yrs of the switch being out cause that coincides with 7nm fabrication maturity.
Nintendo will most likely release a NS+ or something like that and kill off the original NS. And for like a year or so we will see cross platform games for the NS and NS+ and eventually more and more games will only be available on the NS+. Its kinda a way of padding the platform and ensuring continuity.
As I have said they have done this before. And at that point the argument will be if we should call it a new console or not even though it has its own exclusives.
