Why wouldn't we count a new model as Switch sales?

New 3DS counts towards 3DS sales.

DSi counts towards DS sales.

Gameboy Colour counts towards Gameboy sales.

PS4 Pro counts towards PS4 sales.

Xbox One X counts towards Xbox One sales.

If the Switch Pro supports DLSS we are looking at a true generational jump disguised as an additional upgrade to keep the old cash cow Switch printing money. I t would be more like grouping DS and 3DS as one device.

The main distinction is: plays it the same games. And no, not a handful of DSi or New 3Ds exclusives, but a completely new library. If Nintendo and 3rd-parties start to pump out Switch Pro exclusive games, then it is a new generation. If the games are more often 'enhanced on Pro' (like Monster Hunter on 3DS), then it is a new model in the same gen.
