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 They purchase consoles when they are either finding their consoles outdated, or there are no more new games to play or because their consoles are starting to tear apart.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. 

Yeah, well thats my point. If its just another more powerful Switch with an added gimmick it wont do as well. Also Iphone has a way bigger core fanbase than Nintendo consoles has. The Wii U pretty much represents the Nintendo core gamers.

Wii U represent Nintendo home console core gamers and even barely, because the system was very short lived and lacking system sellers (No 3D Mario, no 3D Zelda). Nintendo has a huge fanbase on handheld side. Animal Crossing e Pokemon fanbases are humongous and they will make a presence on Switch 2 or whatever it's called. 30 to 40 million is more representative of the size of Nintendo fanbase. Remember being a Nintendo fan is primarily being a fan of their IPs, if there is no such IPs there is no fanbase. The average Pokemon fan don't care if the system is called Switch 2, Super or Ultra they just want to play the new Pokemon game

Switch 2 won't sell as much as standard Switch and this is not a problem by any means. The only way to repeat original Switch sales is having a new tec to satisfy a market that don't exist yet. It can happen, but at risk of them alienating part of Switch userbase so the sales being bigger than original Switch are not guaranteed by any means. Will they do that? I dunno, let's see
