Do you guys expect the Super Mario Galaxy movie to help the Switch 1's sales considerably or do you guys think the impact will be minimal?

https://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-announces-limited-time-switch-2-offer-with-super-mario-galaxy-1-2/

It seems Nintendo is focusing purely on Switch 2. It makes the most sense at this time. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo discontinues Switch 1 with the way ram prices have raised.. 

Don't think the low bandwidth RAM inside the Switch 1 is terribly expensive as its not the kind of RAM an AI data center would want for starters. 

Having a promotion with Galaxy 1/2 and the Switch 2 just makes sense as a no brainer, frankly that's not even that great of a deal, lol. Only $20 off of up-ressed 15-18 year old games. 

Again young kids still need an entry level game machine, Switch Lite is fine for young kids, a Switch 2 is a really premium device for like a 6 or 7 year old kid to have IMO who just wants to get into the Nintendo ecosystem. You don't need to be spending $500+ (w/game) for that parents especially when a lot of households are struggling. If you have a young kid who's Mario crazy after seeing the movie but aren't swimming in money, man get the kid a Switch Lite with Mario Wonder or Odyssey or Galaxy 1/2 ... a Switch 2 is something they're not going to properly appreciate at that point.
