I should've specified that I meant Home console in my post, yet I know the fact that Switch is an hybrid means it can cather to multiple markets at once which amplify the possibilities and can't be taken into straight comparison with it's predecessor  but otherwise I agree with your post.

Still, I think the Switch specially is an outlier of sort when looking at historical data for most Nintendo consoles. Just like the DS once they released the DS Lite. Though if these results persist during the next iteration of whatever Nintendo does, then I'll be glad to call it a new norm.

Sorry, it took me so long to write my post that I didn't see that you meant home consoles. Still, as far as we can tell, only the DS had strong legs. Maybe it was different with older consoles, It is tough to make a statement with over half of the consoles missing from the data.
