Wii received a new Mario Galaxy and a new Zelda down the stretch ... didn't stop steep sales declines. 3DS has gotten a pretty steady diet of Pokemon games as its sales have declined. 

If you liked Mario games, how many Mario starring games do you need before you decide you need that hardware anyway, lol. If the first 7 games with Mario in them prominently didn't do it I doubt the audience that is going to go nuts for the 8th one is suddenly going to cause a huge surge (ie: the person who won't buy a Switch for Mario Odyssey, NSMBU, Mario Party, Mario Maker, Mario Odyssey 2, Mario Kart ... but Paper Mario is what they're waiting on before buying ... how big really is that type of an audience going to be). 

The other issue is there tends to be a lot of overlap with these audiences ... Mario fans tend to probably like Zelda or Pokemon too and vice versa. 

Super Mario Galaxy released during the Wii's fourth year, so with Skyward Sword you are sitting at 1 of 8 IPs that fit the criterion. The same goes for the 3DS, you have 1 of 8 if that's all you can think of.

And because you realize how flawed your argument is, you move the goalposts and pretend that all IPs under the Mario moniker are the same, or alternatively, there's a lot of overlap across all Nintendo IPs. But even if it were like that, that still doesn't change that you are looking at scenarios where only 1 out of 8 big IPs saw a new installment late in a console's lifecycle.

I stand behind my points. 

Why are you even in a Switch 2 thread? lol. Can we actually discuss that? Clearly you have no interest in one because you put dumb internet message board arguments over everything else (and then end up getting dunked on by Sony fans in the end anyway). So console LTD is all that matters to you even above gaming quality. This is a thread for SWITCH 2 discussion and what people want from it. 

Nobody cares about your obsessive agenda to save face in front of 20 other kids on this board.
