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 They purchase consoles when they are either finding their consoles outdated, or there are no more new games to play or because their consoles are starting to tear apart.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

You seem to be mistaking correlation with causation, it’s like saying Sony should stick to even numbers because PS2/PS4 sold better than PS1/PS3 or that consoles that sell over 150 million will have successors that sell roughly half (PS2/DS to PS3/3DS). I’m sure we can find other silly examples of technically true statements that have no relevance.

No, Wii U does not represent the Nintendo core gamer. You cannot ignore Nintendo’s more successful device that made up ~85% of their hardware & ~80% of their software sales that generation. For many Nintendo fans there was no reason to purchase a $300 Wii U for games like NSMBU, 3D World, MK8, SSB4, WW/TP HD when you could get a 3DS for roughly half that with games like NSMB2, 3D Land, MK7, SSB4, OoT/MM 3D and a bunch of other big hits like Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Luigi’s Mansion, etc. It’s like saying Vita represents the core PlayStation gamer while ignoring PS4.
