I think you both are missing something

What are we missing?  Or what am I missing, to be more accurate?

That is in revenue which was already discussed. It made the most money but did not sell the most consoles.

Oh...gotcha, thanks.  So what are the final numbers?

All true. But none of that will happen if what I think will happen happens. Its something nintendo has done twice before, first with the GBC and then with the 3DS. Its also why I believe it will happen after 4yrs of the switch being out cause that coincides with 7nm fabrication maturity.

Nintendo will most likely release a NS+ or something like that and kill off the original NS. And for like a year or so we will see cross platform games for the NS and NS+ and eventually more and more games will only be available on the NS+. Its kinda a way of padding the platform and ensuring continuity. 

As I have said they have done this before. And at that point the argument will be if we should call it a new console or not even though it has its own exclusives. 

3. Well I cant really call people out on things I dont see.

4. I'll say it again, intrisic claimed 50m was his original prediction, the other user pointed out that it was actually 35-40m. That is not mocking someone, that is called correcting an error.  There is nothing wrong with intrisic forgetting, we all forget things, but at the same time there is nothing wrong with refreshing someone's memory.

5. Ya I saw that prediction and it's so dumb that it's not even worth arguing over.

One other reason why I question intrinsic and not some other posters is because intrinsic is an overall good poster that I enjoy debating with so I will try picking his brain when he says things I dont agree with. I enjoy a good debate and he is a good opponent (same goes for you).

I get what you are saying with GBC, it had a ton of exclusives but Nintendo still considered it the same platform as GB.

But when did they do that with the 3DS? You mean New 3DS? That had like 4 or 5 exclusives in its ~4 years on the market. Hardly enough to consider it a new platform.

If they release a Switch+ in 2021 it will likely be something along the lines of New 3DS or PS4 Pro, a mid-gen upgrade that has a handful of exclusives at the absolute most.

I can't speak emphatically on the 3DS or new 3DS. But I a very sure abut the GBC though.

And yes nintendo still considered it the same platform.... but because something shares the same name doesn't make it the same platform the second it starts having its own exclusives.

It remains to be seen how nintendo will play it. But I don't see them supporting a cheaper NS and a more expensive NS+. Especially when we are likely to see a $199 NS about a year before we see a $299 NS+. I also expect them to make that version support the use of 4g data and whatnot. Its what I would do and how I would play it if I were them. 

They could easily sell another 30M of the NS+ at $299 then drop the price later too..... all the while keeping the "Switch" moniker going loner than a typical 6yr cycle. Especially when you consider that considering its form factor there will be very little to differentiate it from a more powerful successor.
