I live in the US too, but that's irrelevant as to when the console debuted.  And the NES launched in '85 here in the States, not '86.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that 85 launch was limited and was only new york.  The NES didn't launch across the country till 86.

Either way quite a few seem to take my opinion that new hardware is coming in 23 or 24 to heart.  Not sure why, does it really matter?  The switch islssive success.  Nothing is going to change that.

Not sure about only NY, but yes, you are correct that it was a limited release of the console in 1985 as it was difficult to get retailers here to carry game consoles after the crash of '83.

Regarding Switch hardware, you're completely entitled to your opinion of course, but the drops you expect in sales (from 20m this year to just 10m next) are just unrealistic when you consider the Switch's momentum.
