It'd be interesting to know the division of switch owners by age. I'm thinking that all adults who got one would be real gamers, so will eventually upgrade (unless they get a Steam Deck). There'll be an age bracket of kids who have now 'outgrown' gaming, but these should be replaced by kids who were too young during the Switch's lifespan. The only market I could see Nintendo really losing is that of parents who bought their kids a Switch and don't see the point of ever upgrading that.
It's actually not as difficult as I initially thought. I was playing it wrong. Once I raised a few levels and figured out the timing for blocking and getting the extra hits in battle, it became much easier.

This Thursday
The potential reveal date was leaked by industry insider Nate the Hate, and was backed up by Verge senior editor Tom Warren.
That’s according to the previously reliable Podcast Nate the Hate, which claims that a reveal trailer planned by Nintendo will focus on the Switch 2 hardware, with a software showcase coming later in late February or early March.
“I can share with you that Nintendo Switch 2 will be revealed in the coming week… I have been told Switch 2 will be revealed on Thursday, January 16… just a few days from now,” they said.
“I’ve heard that the reveal itself is going to focus almost exclusively on the console itself. There is not going to be any presence of games. There could be a game shown running on the screen, depending on how the trailer is put together, but software is not going to be a focus.”
The two-part reveal plan would align with how Nintendo showed the original Nintendo Switch, and match with what VGC has been told
Nate the Hate speculates that Switch 2 could launch in May or June of this year – which matches with what VGC has heard from its own sources – and that a new version of Mario Kart could be available at launch, followed by a 3D Mario released during the holiday period of 2025.
Third-party releases will reportedly include Final Fantasy 7 Remake. According to Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is planning to release Assassin’s Creed Mirage for Switch 2, and Konami will port Metal Gear Sold Delta.
Update: Eurogamer has corroborated the January 16th reveal date, as well as info that the reveal will be “a focus on the much-leaked console itself, rather than a deep dive into its software line-up”.
