And too bad Wikipedia is edited by biased fanboys (proven by the locked pages), because their view of failure is based on bias articles that only agree with partial statements, ignoring facts that dispute claims. Thus, it's an invalid source to use in schools.

Pro and S aren't going to last as long as the original lasted, meaning the PS5 and NextBox are coming in 2019/2020, so unless Nintendo releases a Switch 2 just 3 years after Switch, most its life is going to compete with PS5 and NextBox, so either Nintendo is skipping that generation, or the Switch was an early release for it.

Because it's compared to an anomaly. They gave it a typical lifespan- rather Iwata would have if he were alive, as Kimishima came in, and basically killed it, because it went from 3+ million a year sales to 800,000 in its one year under him. He didn't really like Iwata continuing it for a full generation, and phased it out as fast as he could, because he wanted Switch only to be in the limelight. Sure, Wii U could have lasted through 2017, but Kimishima didn't want anything more (at least it turned profitable in 2014 so Iwata was able to tout that in his final financial report in 2015).
