By the way, I appreciate you leaving yourself room to be wrong. I could be totally wrong as well. I just think that if Nintendo has new hardware coming out next year, we're passing/passed the tipping point of when so much as a codename should have been stated publicly already. And the reason I don't see the Switch dropping 10 million sales in one year is because of how much more big title software the Switch has on the horizon than the Wii did near the end. And the Wii had much more compact drops. |
It is a fair and likely accurate point you bring up. It could be a few more years before we get new hardware. I've been gaming since the NES, it just seems crazy to me that hardware would last ~8 years without an upgrade. Granted the market has changed over time, so anything is possible. I personally would welcome the Switch having another ~3 years left in life, for two reasons. First I love the hardware because the software is amazing. Dread is my favorite Metroid to date and Arceus is exactly where Pokemon needs to go. And secondly I prefer giant leaps in hardware upgrades, the longer Nintendo goes the larger the upgrade. I think the Switch 2 will be quite something.
