Well, this kinda shows that you seem to be caring more about companies rather than consumers (gamers). All the so-called upgraded consoles are a benefit to the consumers. You tend to use X1X as an example of "unneeded" SKU. Of course it didn't have a huge impact on overall console sales performance, but I doubt that any person who bought it will say it was "unneeded". The same can be applied even to Switch Lite maybe. The original Switch SKU is still the best selling by a lot even despite being more expensive. So, judging by your logic - Switch Lite was unneeded SKU. Because it didn't really have a huge impact on Nintendo's position on the market. Switch would have been extremely successful even without it. But, Switch Lite still exists, because choices. And yeah, N3DS wasn't the only available model of 3DS when it came out. 2DS was selling alongside it which was basically a core 3DS in a different form factor. Then, they were both simultaneously  replaced by New 2DS - the latest model which is a 3DS-like form factor but without 3D.

No dude it's not caring about companies it's acknowledging that a company has to do what they need to exist first before adhering to the minority on a forum that's how reality works companies aren't out there to fulfill every little daydream someone has they're operating a business with the aim of staying around for as long as possible and you know what that means not taking any unneeded actions that yields little to no return this is why the people you and him are harping on about barely even matter as far as Nintendo is concerned because that approach has no significant benefit for them.

Your Switch lite comment highlights you not only didn't read prior posts as I used it as an example of why the pro model is less likely but don't really understand why it was brought out it's an sku to sell more than one Switch to a household like what portables have done for decades OG Switch is viable for that as it's designed to be a console in the house so the Lite is there to cover that option the Lite actually has a business application to it being around the premium model you and some others are touting doesn't it's far deeper than being a choice like you think. This is why the Lite has had an impact and the likes of X1X didn't the former has fundamental reasoning for its creation the latter didn't and is just a choice for a select group of people who have little to no impact in the grand scheme of things, the difference this makes is that the choice doesn't give people a reason to buy it while the former does i.e have an extra NS in the house for the kids or partner to play for themselves.

To put it simply for anyone when you speculate what a company should do you have to look at it from the company's perspective because that tells you more about whether it makes sense for a company to do a said action.

So you think that just because the situation on the market hasn't changed in favor of Microsoft, they haven't benefitted from releasing One X in any way from business side of things? Okay, then
