I think things would've worked out differently if Nintendo hadn't messed up the naming of the Wii U. We probably would've had a line up like this:

• Wii
• Wii Pro (Wii U)
• Wii Portable (Switch)

They're at that crossroad again with the Switch name. What do you think the Switch successor should be called? Keep the Switch name or nah?

Super Switch would sort of make sense given Nintendo’s history, but it’s a shitty decision going forward. Even if you like the name, it just pushes the difficulty of renaming down to the next console generation.

Switch 2 would be fine, but I can’t see Nintendo going for it. An entirely new name would probably be the best outcome. Or they’ll pull another “New Switch U Plus” out of thin air.
