I mean if the WiiU taught Nintendo anything it was probably not to rush the next big upgrade until you're positive it'll actually be a worthy following act.

They should have learned that from Virtual Boy. I STILL say virtual boy could have been really really cool.......if it were in more than just red. Which was the plan, but it got rushed to come out in 1995 at the cost of development time. All so people wouldn't feel conflicted in 1996 over which to buy. The N64, or the Virtual Boy.

Don't worry Nintendo. Nobody was conflicted about that....good job!

Also Switch doesn't need an upgrade. It's not competing with PS or XBox, they have a younger target audience and that means you don't meed 5000 horse powers of PS. Ot's for families not Dads. I have mine for 5 years and I love it!
