What if they come out with a Switch U, with a similarly terrible name and function with poor game support and it ends up selling ~8m? (LTD)

And what if they don't? There's always an asterisk applied to Nintendo's successes. It was a fluke, it was a gimmick, it was the pandemic, it was a fad, it was the tooth fairy. It doesn't matter how well they do, there's always some excuse about how it doesn't count.

They have that reputation because they often follow up a large success with a disappointment or down turn in sales the very next product cycle. 

If you say you are like a free throw shooting expert, but you miss every second shot, people will start to put an asterisk next to your claims. 

So it does matter what they do, they have an established reputation for making major mistakes repeatedly after success. That's on them, no one else.
