Nintendo's success with the Switch both a blessing and a curse?

Look at the part you highlighted, you think the people who waited 4-6 years to get a PS4/XBO at less than half the launch price are the same people who will buy a PS5/XSX in the first year when they are at full price?

Like I said, Nintendo doesnt care if Switch owners get a PS5/XSX and spend more time on them because they already got their money from those people, most consoles have a ~10 game attach rate so as long as these people buy just 1 or 2 flagship titles each year and keep their $20/year online subscription than Nintendo is happy.

There isnt any reason to expect Switch sales to just disappear after the release of PS5/XSX, just take a look at 3DS to compare, it sold about 40 million after the release of PS4/XBO so why would Switch (a more popular console) all of a sudded become undesirable because of new consoles?

Why are we assuming that the people who bought a $350 Switch waited years for a pricedrop before they got a ps4/Xone? I think it's the other way around. Early adopters of the ps4/Xone have no problem spending $350 on a handheld to complement their other console. And they will also have no problem spending $500 on a next gen console. The 3DS is a bit different as that was really a pure handheld that you can't really compare with a traditional console. The Switch is basically the Wii-U, except it's more refined and fully portable.

You really dont seem to grasp what I'm saying because I already addressed that twice.

First time

"PS4/XBO early adopters became NSW early adopters and will become PS5/XSX early adopters.........how does that affect future sales of NSW?

NSW owners buying a PS5/XSX doesnt affect Nintendo, they already got their money from those people."

2nd time

"Like I said, Nintendo doesnt care if Switch owners get a PS5/XSX and spend more time on them because they already got their money from those people, most consoles have a ~10 game attach rate so as long as these people buy just 1 or 2 flagship titles each year and keep their $20/year online subscription than Nintendo is happy."

And im not saying people who bought a Switch at full price bought a PS4/XBO at a discount, I'm saying people who waited years to buy a PS4/XBO at discounts are more likely to buy a Switch in the next couple years than they are to buy a PS5/XSX at full price.

I've already discussed everything you have brought up so either respond to the points I made or dont bother quoting me.
