They're not forecasting a "death" at all at this stage. Your assertion was that Switch would be "dead and buried" by next FY; there's no indication of that yet, production could continue at low levels for years yet, as happens with many systems.

I said it "should basically be dead and buried by then" not that they would ship literally 0 units. Yes they will ship low levels until at least March 2028 I expect. It will just be low enough in numbers that it "should basically be dead and buried" by the fiscal year ending March 31st 2027.

And yes Nintendo are forecasting a faster death in terms of sales volume than the 3DS. Faster drop = faster death.

Again not necessarily, a bigger initial drop doesn't guarantee the actual death will come sooner. It could, but it's too soon to say for sure at this stage, especially with how chaotic the industry and world at currently. I just think you're jumping the gun with the whole "dead and buried by next March" thing, particularly as we know significant software support will continue into 2026.

"Dead and buried" isn't a technical term, so perhaps I'm just misconstruing what exactly you mean.
