When it comes to hardware sales, Nintendo usually doesn't fail. From the smash success of the DS line, all the way back to their roots with the NES and even some of their more unorthodox hardware. It's hard to think of a Nintendo console not doing well.

Though Nintendo has a history of discontinuing its older consoles without missing a beat, there's reason to believe this won't happen with the Switch.

In a sparse teaser, Nintendo announced the Switch 2, its first major console release since the original Switch released in 2017 to huge sales.
