| Zippy6 said: I've never said Switch wasn't a successor to 3DS so I'm not using BC as a measure to dictate if it is a successor or not. It's a successor to both but more a direct replacement of the WiiU than the 3DS, even though it replaces them both. I think it's best to leave it here otherwise we'll talk in circles for hours. Switch made the WiiU redundant, it didn't do the same to 3DS. Switch was priced like the WiiU, Switch shares more games with the WiiU, WiiU support was completely dropped with the launch of the Switch, etc etc. Switch succeeds both WiiU and 3DS, but WiiU is the device that Switch directly replaced and made completely irrelevant and redundant in the process. |
You don't get the point Switch making WiiU redundant is how Nintendo's home platforms have always operated, portables have always carried on after their successor your logic is looking at one thing to say it succeeds that one harder and ignoring that the other thing has always happened as well with successors. So in effect all you're just pointing out is how Switch carries on the same succession procedure for both platforms at the same time it doesn't show it replacing one harder than the other.
