What does any of this have to do with what I said though? I don't disagree, I just said replacing Switch in 2021 would be foolishly premature.

Not sure where you're getting "replace the Switch in 2021" from, don't think anyone even the OP has said that. A phased transition is something different. While I think there is some merit to it, Nintendo is prone to not being able to do even standard transitions very well, that they probably shouldn't try to get too cute. 

Plan for March 2023 Switch 2 launch and support the Switch through 2024, basically same as you did with the Switch and 3DS. Getting too fancy or cute might be doable but when you have so much trouble with transitionary periods, probably just better to keep it simple. 

I got it from Otter, my first post in this thread was quoting him saying Switch should be replaced next year. That's my point of contention.

I agree with you as far as planning for a 2023 transition.
