Still haven't voted yet, wish there was more options in the poll

For example ? The only year I haven't written there is 2029. But that is included in the " by 2030 " option.

Edit: I just added the 2029 to the "by 2030" option.

 
2026
2027
2028
2029
2030
2030+

something like that, this thread will prolly get tons of votes, would have been interesting to see what people will vote.

I grouped them intentionally.

After the next update and renew of the poll, I will put them separate. Also, I don't see point in years after 2030. I should include 10 poll options then ..

Also the numbers of votes is not connected to the number of options. There is option for everyone. Well unless you want to vote for 2031 

Last reminder, vote now. There is roughly 1 month left until the fiscal quarter reports are out, and when that happen, I will reset the poll. With the new forecast everyone will have a lot better idea of how much more Switch 1 might or might not go. I will also add separate years options in the poll, as requested by few users. As always the results from the previous two polls are in the bottom of the first post. Now that the Switch 1 officially out shipped and more importantly outsold the DS, the only one left is the king - PlayStation 2!

They should continue to sell if for another 4-5 years. 

Like looking at 5/6 year old ... a Switch 2 is massively overkill for a kid in that age range, what do they need a system that expensive for with graphics that high end with $70+ games. 

Switch 1 makes a lot more sense for young gamers getting their first dedicated gaming hardware and then as they get older they can graduate up into the Switch 2.

Switch 1 should be $249.99 and the Lite should be $179.99, and games should be $39.99-$49.99 a pop digital ... it would easily hit 160 with no fuss. 

Looking at Nintendo's track record they don't seem to keep production of their previous consoles for more than a year or so after the release of their new console, so if they were to follow suit, then the original Switch doesn't have much time left, and all that remains are the ones that are left in stock.

Do we have a rough idea of how many Switch/Switch Lites are still in stores? 

Yeah .. I agree with this too. Realistically looking if I have to bet when Nintendo will discontinue the system, the most logical thing is to either discontinue it now when the fiscal year is over, or at most give it 1 more fiscal year. Personally the biggest chances I think are that it will give it 1 more fiscal year, and that's it. If I have to call it, I would call - end of March 2027. They will ship like 1M more or 1.5M more and that should be it.

Doubtful. 

People here apparently don't understand children actually play video games, a Switch 2 is ridiculous overkill for a child's first game console at $500 US (likely incoming price increase) it's way overkill for something a young child getting into gaming would need. 

There's no way Nintendo is phasing out the Switch 1 that fast IMO. It still serves a perfectly fine part of the market, you take away the Switch 1 and what the fuck is a parent supposed to buy their 5/6/7 year old without spending a small fortune ... Switch 2 is again overkill. Way too heavy/bulky too. 

That piece of crap NeX thing gaining some market traction I think shows there is a market for parents who just want something that is cheap and fun to play without breaking the bank. 

A Switch 1 is still perfectly reasonable (especially the Lite model) for a kid's first game console, they're not really going to appreciate the differences between Mario Kart 8 and 9 anyway at that age. 

Even if the Switch 1 sells around 200k per month (what doesn't sound plausible) it would take over 2 years to reach 160 million. And it will probably be long gone before that.
