Can we remake this thread but we all make predictions and look back on them in time to see if they become Hilariously wrong or not. Many will laugh but I predict the Switch 2 to be a Wii U sort of deal, not as bad, Nintendo will make their money and they still have 150+ million switches to sell games on. They aren't loosing much in this as they can still sell Switch 1s cause the Switch 2 is simply a PRO console for all intents, they have designed it so they can't fail even if it fails despite the "2" in the name. I predict less than 40 million LT, I wanna say 30 million but I'll be cut it down the middle at go 35 million. It'll sell right out the gate like the Wii U and get over 20 million fairly fast but given all the conditions It'll slow and then It'll slow to a crawl. Parent will not buy this thing, Kids will still be on Switch 1. We will not see hardware price reduction in the lifetime of this system or at least the vast majority of it, we'll be lucky if the price does not go up and it just might. That said, Switches will still sell.

If Switch 2 is a pro console then is Xbox series and PS5 pro consoles as well? 

Pretty much. Kojima has said as much himself. Sadly they are, they are just continuations of the the PS4 PRO and X1X. Only difference is they have exclusive games and the controllers are different. I was gonna make a thread on this but it'll ruffle feathers.  The age of true successors of over, now it's just slight improvments. When I got a PS5 my first thought was, oh it's a better, upgraded PS4 PRO, doesn't matter about the power cause devs can't make that work. If Kojima and Co can not find the juice in the machine and calls it basically the same machine as a base ps4 then yurr, it's not a gen leap.
