A new global pandemic, so deep that the world will need to enter in a severe lockdown again for months? I doubt it will happen again so soon. The world is still recovering from Covid, any signs of a new pandemic will be followed by severe restrictions before the virus spread. Not that I believe a new virus with the same transmition rate will happen in this time anyway

Im just saying Nintendo has a bigger casual audience than the other 2 consoles. Some Switch owners will just go "Another Switch? I already have one of those" If the next console is called the Switch 2 I absolutely think it will sell less than if they call it the for instance  the rumored Nintendo Focus. Even if they are both the exact same. I think with the name Focus, it will do better. Core gamers will know its the new Nintendo console and casuals will be interested in the new shiny thing.

This makes no sense. It's like saying people don't buy next versions of iPhone because they already have one. There is nothing more intuitive or easy to understand than Switch 2. 

Of course, many people use consoles for as long they can. Those are the late adopts. They purchase consoles when they are either finding their consoles outdated, or there are no more new games to play or because their consoles are starting to tear apart.

The point of going to another name it to showcase a different concept or idea. If Nintendo wants to sell another idea then I'm all for a new name. But if it's just a straight upgrade then it's a no brainer calling it Switch 2.
