I recall a fierce debate at the old forum about whether the Switch was a successor to the Wii U and the 3DS, or just the Wii U. Those who said it was just a Wii U successor seemed to use this as a way to knock it down a peg, because while the launch sales were fantastic, they were essentially saying so what, it was just replacing the Wii U, which was by far Nintendo's worst selling console, and it shouldn't get praise for replacing their much more successful handheld line. At least, that's how it seemed to me. I always thought it was a hybrid, and was therefore replacing both the Wii U and 3DS.
Long story short, today was the final nail in the coffin of the idea that the Switch was only replacing the Wii U and that a separate 3DS successor would come along. I guess technically that is the Switch Lite and not Switch OG, but it's still a Switch, and not some separate 3DS 2 type of system (4DS? 1DS?). So does anyone want to own up to claiming that the Switch was not a 3DS successor and apologize if they got nasty about it?
