That's completely true if you replace "explicitly" with "ostensibly"

When was the last time a console went 5.5 years without a new iteration or announcement of a successor?
The Game Boy.

Seriously though, the issue with a Switch successor is that it can't just be more powerful, it has to be more power efficient otherwise the gains in capability are offset by poor battery life. The Switch itself has already had one process node improvement which really just stretches battery life to what consumers were expecting in the first place.

The component shortage situation has certainly made this worse, but Nintendo still believes they can develop games that look/run well on the current model without the need for performance improvements. And for the most part, that's true, as a more powerful system really benefits PC ports and, uh, Unity.

How many years did PS2 last? And that's one of the best consoles ever made. Based solely on me having over 50 games for it without even realizing it. The lifespan was insane. I want the Switch to hit those levels of life and library. It's already mostly there on library, and only going to keep going.

We went from having an NES to not getting a new system until the PS1 because my dad was of the mind that things should be upgradable rather than having to buy a whole new thing as he was a PC guy.

Considering that over 50 titles have reached over a million units sold, its pretty understandable why Nintendo is going to stick with the switch for awhile.

loving insane that NSMBUD sold almost 2x as Mario Maker 2 :psyduck:

There have been approximately 26 million levels uploaded to the SMM2 servers since launch. I know some people might say "well, 99.9% of SMM2 levels are crap", so let's run with that.

0.01% of 26 million is still 2600 levels that aren't crap. That's still a goddamn huge number of Mario levels.

So true.

I love my Switch, I'm very happy with an OLED, and while a Redbox would've been enough to solve my battery woes, I feel like I can game forever now. Anyone, who doesn't think that isn't an upgrade, I don't know what to tell you. The game's are perfect, the system is even better, why ask for more?

1995 vs 1994. Longer than the 5.5 years I was quoting. Sorry about your relationship with your dad, though.
