Hilarious wrong predictions

I said for "an intents", shortening all intents and purposes and right after explained what I mean, if it's going great to be read out of context I would say it will eventaully cement itself as a pro console for all intents and and purposes when everything is said and done by the way they have set it up so it can be either. One quote was "Buy a Switch, we have that if you can't afford a Switch 2" or something along those lines, not exactly the mark of a confident successor.

Nintendo is obviously not setting it up as a pro console. It's called the "Switch 2" and it has a giant ass 2 on its logo. Hell, it's the first time they used numbers like this for a console.

It's also getting the next Mario Kart as a exclusive day one and MK8 DX was the best selling Switch 1 game.

Not to mention it's a huge graphical and technical leap. Probably even bigger than going from PS3 to PS4.

They couldn't be more clear: it's the Switch successor.

If you look at the design of the thing it is essential a PRO console with added features. 3DS is the most similar thing but Sony could add mouse control or new haptics to the PS5 PRO, add in two or three exvlusives and call it PS5 2 and it would be the exact same thing. Even the UI is the same or to think more easily about it the ps4 which actually had the same purpose of reaching 4k or something close to it. 

What I'm saying is, if th8s fails their thinking is to lean back in the Switch, they can go ahead with it as a successor if it gains traction. Just don't be surprised when Nintendo create the longest cross gen period every seen in console gaming as an inbetween and Switch 2 exclusive end up on the Switch. MK World is just a Switch game that is ported up, they have said as much.
