The fact that Nintendo is still releasing new games on Switch next year shows they still think it has some life left in it.
They know that not everybody will run right out and upgrade to Switch 2. Plus, when those people are ready to upgrade, they'll be able to play it. It will also give people who are early adopters something to play while the Switch 2's library fills out, hopefully with some enhacements like framerate. Nintendo is trying to make the transition to Switch 2 as easy as possible for everybody concerned.
Exactly. I don't get why so many people think they're going to abandon it as soon as Switch 2 comes out.
They have almost always done this with their handhelds. It's their home consoles (RIP) that usually got early graves.
That's a good point. This is also why I still think it has a decent chance of outselling the PS2 in the end.
Oh here we go again lol.
I'm just saying that their handhelds tend to keep selling well after their successor releases.
I'm not so sure that'll happen this time, but it could. It'll depend on how long Nintendo wants to keep them in stores and in production.
Yeah for sure. There are a lot of factors to consider, including a potential price drop.
Nice that they remembered another non-Mario IP.
