Perfect. Gimmick. In this case I am using gimmick in a much more broad term. Gimmick would be ANY selling factor beyond being a games console. PS2 with DVD Player? A gimmick, but a gimmick helped it to reached an audience that it otherwise would have not if not for said gimmick. 

Very very late response.

There was nothing one-off about the hybrid form factor though; the Switch 2 will have that exact same convenience and flexibility. If it only sold because it was novel, then sales would have crashed after a few years once it was no longer new and fresh, yet the Switch's legs have been exceptional.

Currently there's no evidence at all for a DS to 3DS drop.

Did I say DS to 3DS drop?(Honest question). CGI-Qualities estimates are mine as well. I do not believe that NINTENDO is going to capture lightning in a bottle TWICE ... in a row. No other console has ever done that with the same "gimmick". Then we have to think about how many of those people who bought Switch because of the cool factor; Do they still use it? Why would Switch 2 pull these people in? Let's look at PS2 to PS3; We know SONY fucked up but in some sense you could look that 90mill PS3s as "actually" PS fans(loyalist). That lost 70mill are users who were not loyal to PS(went to xbox)or those who just bought PS2 because of DVD or Madden

It takes a very unique set of elements to have a console go over 130mill.
