A smooth transition instead of killing the previous gen right from the gate, abruptly forcing the consumers to move. I truly think it will work just right 

Why on Earth wouldn't Nintendo want that, though? It means selling more hardware right off the bat.

It's not like their support of outgoing consoles has been stellar in the past (e.g. moving titles midway through development to be exclusive to the successor platform, or just delaying titles to launch alongside it).

Bc it can't be taken as granted that will happen as the way they want to happen. You could have several stock issues or another wii u situation.

Plus you throw away a 100+Million Userbase that could bring more software sales to the table 

The best thing they did in the past that I can give as a comparison to my hypothetical scenario was the Switch in its first years while the 3ds was still getting software support.
