As much as we need to know all the games for the rest of the FY (end of March) this is simply untrue. Just going by US and Japan data proves this. Without any big software or any software announced even as of yet we are already looking at this FY as peak year (22mil-23mil+) it’ll be more apparent after the first 2 quarters. Q1 already about to break records and that’s only with a gen 7 port and a budget filler game released!
edit: And even with major games, we don’t even kno yet if Nintendo can produce 25mil+ anyways. No matter what the lineup is nintendo what ever they ship it’s going to sell for this year

In certain point they should promote hardcore Switch users to upgrade but they should keep supporting older Switch versions with First Party games, so less "hardcore" users may have the option of keep playing Nintendo games. |
Still think a new MK in maybe 2021 or 2022 would also push huge longevity into NSW life. I just don’t personally see it being replaced before holiday 2024.
