Kinect and Pokemon are the only things I can think of that have extended a gen.

Mario Kart, NSMB, Smash, Animal Crossing and Zelda (so far) are the only titles that currently have the selling power of Kinect/Pokemon.

They're all either 'last gen' games or games that could have easily run on last gen hardware or 2-gen old hardware at lower res.

So, actually Nintendo could ride Switch 'forever' or for at least 2 gens if they wanted to.

No, they can't ride out two gens on Switch. Gens last 7 years these days, they cannot ride Switch for 14 years.

I was using 5 years as an average for Nintendo consoles. Rumours suggest MS might be staying a gen behind too so that would make it more likely Switch could be around for a while.

What do you want from a Switch 2? Zelda HD/4K or the 'one ring' (Nin+3rd party) or both?
