Yes, that describes you pretty well, hence your habitual straw man arguments. Aside from that, did you know that half a year equates six months, not two months like you suggest? Did you know that Nintendo didn't provide a forecast for 3DS hardware and software for the fiscal year ending March 2021? That's a very clear indicator that Nintendo plans to stop selling the 3DS. |
Even if they stopped selling it tomorrow it is like the 3rd longest product cycle in Nintendo's history already, the longest of the the new century.
You have to go back to the 1990s to find a longer Nintendo product cycle.
If that doesn't define as an abnormally long product cycle, I'm not sure what does.
And really the 3DS is only being "replaced" (if it is at all) because of Switch Lite, not because of the base Switch. If the Lite didn't exist, at $300, the Switch is still basically a different product category from a $149.99 2DS XL and it would stick around probably for several more years. The same will likely be true of Switch-Switch 2 ... until Switch 2 has a $200 or less pocket sized model, it doesn't replace the Switch 1 line directly because the Switch Lite will still be there and serve a portion of the market.
