I'm not contradicting anything, you know I'm riding so you're moving goal posts.
The point about year to year sales is Nintendo in 2022 is not going to be happy with "only" 10-11 million Switch shipments when they could be selling higher hardware totals between a Switch 2 + Switch 1 combined.
"Full potential" is just some imaginary concept you have in your head to drive a hardware platform into the ground before replacing it, that's not in Nintendo's best interests by 2022 at all. They don't get any bonus trophy just for hitting LTD targets of a hardware platform. That's a nice bonus to have, but it's not the end game of how a business is run, investors only care what you are doing in that fiscal year, "well we peaked 2 years ago and now are on a down cycle, but keep our stock price high please" doesn't fly with investors.

Switch shipping 10-11m units in 2022. Good one, Soundwave.

Doesn't matter the model you're advocating for, which is to basically hang on to a system forever and expect no hardware decline (yeah right) in the later years doesn't work. The stock price will start to sink in the later years because investors don't care that you shipped 20 million ... 2 years ago, they want to know why you aren't shipping that much now.
For all this shit about Nintendo history this and that, from a pure business POV from 1989 onwards basically they've always had a new hardware platform basically every 3-4 years to infuse new buyers into their bottom line, and they weren't giving that money to charity. I'm sure they enjoyed that infusion of business they got every time they did that.
