However, it's good to point out that this never really applied to Nintendo's handheld consoles as the handheld Nintendo gamers typically do a good job at upgrading every generation, I think a big part of it is Pokemon which has a huge fanbase that's far more willing to upgrade each gen than other franchises, also Nintendo handhelds just tend to be more appealing in general since Nintendo games are great and accessible pick up and play games. Also, handhelds tend to be far cheaper than consoles which makes them more appealing since you aren't spending as much just to play Nintendo games.

Nintendo has a good history with Handhelds + they are the ONLY one doing handhelds now + they are the only relevant hardware maker in Japan 

Nintendo can now release Switch 2 with no games and for 600 USD and they will sell at least 40 million next gen regardless, simply because for Japanese people and handheld gamers is Nintendo or nothing
