Just read this from a review from Wired

"" Technically, the name "Switch" no longer fits, as the Lite cannot connect to a television, thereby not being able to 'switch' between docked and portable forms. It also means only games with a handheld mode are compatible with the new console – try to buy anything on Nintendo eShop that requires TV output (Labo, Just Dance, 1-2-Switch, Super Mario Party) and you'll be warned it's incompatible. This is the biggest change, but not the only one. ""

But they also refer to it being a new console

I propose a question if when the PS5 is released, and for the following 3 years after its release, all its games also run on the PS4 (albeit at 720por less or something)... dos that mean the PS5 will be grouped with the PS4 in sales?

Now to clear this up, I am not saying that the Switch lite sales should be separated, I know that won't happen and personally I don' care enough fr that... I am saying, however, that this is exactly what I predicted will happen before the Switch was even released when it was announced as a hybrid. I literally sai that a few years after that Nintendo will release a strictly handheld version of it. And that how its sales are tracked after that would be interesting.

If PS4 games run on PS5 it should be the same as well no? The majority of third party games will cover both consoles for years. They both have similar starts to their names, like PS and Switch. The only difference will be 5 and Lite which are both distinctions.

I don't see why PS5 sales wouldn't continue wherever PS4 sales stop based on this reasoning.

Good call. I also agree it's going to make things interesting, to put it one way.
