Furthermore, let me repeat this idea for you, Nintendo very well could make good on its promises.

Then it's a little unfair to even bring up the previous points. After all, by the end of the Wii's life cycle we had enough content to make it well-worth purchasing. Ditto for the 3DS which had a *very* rough launch.

Not really, because one can always point out the fact that they basically left Wii-U owners out to dry the moment they decided it was no longer viable.

Nintendo COULD make good on its promises. It also might not. Anyone who bought a Wii-U waiting for Nintendo to release a massive library of worthwhile games to justify their early adoption basically got fucked. So "maybe they'll follow up" isn't really a dismissal of all of the alternative options.

That being said, the Switch had strong adoption out of the gate (though it's leveled off HARD since then, and if it doesn't pick up, it MIGHT be a problem for them later), which means they're more likely to stick with it long-term. But nothing is guaranteed in this business.

At the end of the day, "Ehh, we'll see" is about the only thing we can really say about what sort of lifespan the Switch is going to have when everything is said and done.
