If Nintendo waits a long time for a Switch successor, what do you think will happen?

^^^ You talk like if the Switch difference in hardware capability with its successor will be the same as the 3ds against Switch. If you replaced 3ds with WiiU then you would have a more feasible scenario, but then you remember that Switch in its first year had Wii U games as most of its evergreen titles lol

Switch and its successor will likely be closer to a 3DS-Switch power gap than the small Wii U-Switch power gap. Only 2 of Switch's major 2017 games were from Wii U, and hardly anybody owned a Wii U while a massive audience owns a Switch.

You’re looking at it the wrong way, the better question is would Switch has been as successful if all the 3DS games that released in 2017/2018 were also on Switch?

That's not what I mean; I'm not saying nothing can be shared, I'm saying the successor will need big exclusives.

Than we’re just arguing semantics, look at the example I gave a few posts back.

Super Switch, November 2024, $349.99

A standard next-gen device, think NES to SNES or PS4 to PS5. It can have some new features but not the main focus and nothing that inflates the price, something like HD rumble rather than 3D screen, Kinect 2.0 or Wii U Gamepad.

Launch+first full year lineup

exclusives-3D Mario, Mario Kart 9, Star Fox reboot, Xenoblade Chronices X-2

cross gen-Metroid Prime 4, 2.5D Donkey Kong, Fire Emblem Warriors Engage, Pokemon Let’s Go 2 or Legends 2

updated ports-Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Wonder

Would this hypothetical scenario be to your liking?
