Switch has sold far faster than the NES, but it does have the benefit of being a hybrid and in a much larger video game industry. The Famicom was introduced in 1983 in Japan, and not discontinued until 2003. The NES version was introduced in 1985 in North America, and discontinued in 1995. I think Switch will continue to manufactured until 2027, maybe slightly longer. But Switch sales will likely slow down immensely in 2023. But considering what a slowdown from the current numbers means, there's nothing wrong with that.
