DS is 1/8 Nintendo recent platforms. Any others? The DS is going to pull away from the Switch in its sales curve soon if it hasn't already, so I don't think that's really much of a comparable unless Switch is going to sell 30 million+ the next two years (doubtful). DS was the exception to the rule, not the rule. 

You don't know how business works, you're just obsessed with a dumb platform LTD, you don't understand concepts like a company having a bigger responsibility like yearly fiscal targets and their stock price. You're motivated by stupid fanboy wars, a business suit is not going to give a shit about that. 

The LTD of a platform is only one factor and quite frankly it's not as high you make it out to be. Stock price and yearly profit totals are more important along with maintaining brand momentum. 

You said I shouldn't make excuses, and now you yourself are making excuses. You say the DS doesn't count without providing a counterpoint to what I said (health of the software pipeline). You set the goal at "Switch must sell 30m+ in back to back years" despite 20m+ years already being more than sufficient to keep Nintendo highly profitable and their share price high.

You have yet to provide any good reason why Nintendo should cut the life of Switch short. It's clear that you want more processing power, but you can't make a good case for why Nintendo needs it.

I didn't say the DS doesn't count, but the fact is it's very much the outlier for Nintendo platforms, not the normal range of their platforms, and likely the Switch is going to start to fall behind the DS fairly quickly here if it isn't already even with 20 million-range sales the next two years, the DS was a far stronger platform than even that. 

You want to argue with fanboys on the internet, stock price, yearly hardware totals are kind of a problem in your theory. 

There is no reason why Switch 1 and 2 can't co-exist for multiple years on top of that, they would be serving completely different parts of the market. 

Even if I wanted more processing power ... Nintendo has always benefitted from more processing power to make better games in the end. Breath of the Wild would be dog shit running on a Wii/3DS, it benefits from better hardware. And when ever Nintendo gets to their next hardware leap there will inevitably be games that run on it that simply wouldn't have been as good on older hardware. It's better to want that than what ... your POV which is ... so you get to argue with Sony fans on a message board ... whoopity freaking doo. Any of those Sony fans even going to send you a cookie as a trophy if you win? lol.
