Look back at his post before you made those remarks. He asked you to point out a time when a Nintendo system got more than 1 or the big 8 games after year 4. You were the one who brought up how Nintendo has 8 big IP and how Nintendo sales typically drop by year 4 or 5 so his questions were 100% relevant.

Why is that relevant to a Switch 2? 

Even if they released Mario Odyssey 2 in say 2022 ... so what? That will cause a huge surge in sales why? 

Who do you think is going to be buying that? Here's a wild guess, probably a lot of the 16 million people who owned the first one. 

Actually too BOTW2 and a hypothetical Odyssey 2 will likely sell a good deal less than their predecessors, we see this as a pattern on Nintendo platforms too ... Majora's Mask did not sell as well as Ocarina of Time, Mario Galaxy 2 did not sell as well as Mario Galaxy, DKC2 sold less than DKC. Even though debatably the second instalments there are all better games than their predecessors.  

Not only do you have diminishing sales with most Nintendo IP that are repeated on a system, you are most likely by the second time around just selling to the same people that bought the first game, so that's not driving hardware adoption. 

The "guy who refuses to buy a Switch for years until they release a second or third 3D Mario in the system's 5th or 6th year" is not likely that large of a crowd. 

It's relevant to the discussion you two were having and you were the who brought both those points up. If they werent relevant than why did you bring them up to begin with?
