[–] colliedad@lemm.ee 23 points 3 years ago (2 children) They won’t show it before the holiday season. It would cause some potential Switch buyers to just wait for the new one. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Kyle@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 years ago This is the way permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rynelan@feddit.nl 0 points 3 years ago (3 children) Almost 7 years later you would think everyone who wants one, already got one. Sales are already declining. And if Switch 2 has full backward compatibly it wouldn't at least hurt sales of games since those games will run the same but hopefully better on the new hardware. Without backward compatibly some people might skip games in order to save it for the new hardware permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 10 points 3 years ago (1 child) Last time I checked there are new human getting born every year so permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] StarServal@kbin.social 7 points 3 years ago Impossible!

Normal people don't care or are watching or waiting for when a new console comes out. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 3 years ago Yeah my buddy just got one last month and immediately bought both Zelda games for it. He just wanted to play them finally. If he's going to wait this long to do that he could care less about a potential new system that'll have less games. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) They sold more than 10 million units last year. I assume they’ll end up selling millions this year too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rynelan@feddit.nl 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) A lot of the owners already got their system 4+ years. Likely more. People are going to look into more powerful hardware some day. Nintendo should be ahead of that and let them be the one with the more powerful hardware. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago That wasn’t your original point though.
