i wonder what dumb shit nintendo will name the switch successor, and also how they inevitably fumble it

@jestergal

as for why i think they're gonna fumble it, it's my little personal theory about the pattern i noticed with nintendo consoles over the past few gens

gamecube = kind of a flop (i liked it, but it was kind of a flop...)
wii = massive success
wii u = flop
switch = massive success
new switch pro 2 = ???

The issue comes from if you look at it as a whole, either as consoles or handheld
NES - Massive success
Gameboy - Massive Success
SNES - Massive Success
Virtual Boy - Flop - why did they even do this?
N64 - Flop - Undone by own hubris, bad 3rd party support
GBA - Massive Success
Gamecube - Moderate flop
DS - slow starting massive success
Wii - Massive Success
3DS - Moderate Success
Wii U - flop - terrible branding, bad 3rd party support
Switch - Massive Success

There's no real pattern besides a huge company getting in their own way or figuring out the right device for the right time.
