1. i never said the next Nintendo console will definitely come out exactly 4 years after release
2. the average videogame console usually only stays on the market for 5-6 years before the next one comes out. the PS4 has been on the market for an extensive amount of time and more than likely due to it's high sales numbers.
3. why the fuck do you care if Nintendo DOES even end up releasing their next system after only 4 years? you're the one that wants a more powerful Nintendo machine sooner rather than later. crying about a short shelf life is just contradicting yourself.

it does make videogaming consoles like Sony and MS do though.

ok? there are also a fuckload more people using mobile phones than there are people using PS4's or Xbox Ones.
what's your point?

1) You said Nintendo will probably be almost ready with another system like that's a good thing or something.
2) Video game consoles have longer lifespans now because of diminishing returns in graphical advancements. PS3 released in 2006 - PS4 in 2013 - PS5 in most likely 2020. That's 7 years now and I'm sure most people would be fine if current-gen lasted even longer.
3) I want Nintendo to compete with Sony and Microsoft and try and make a system that can be a primary gaming system so it doesn't feel like I'm paying $300 just play a small handful of games. Also, Nintendo makes you buy shit you don't want like the stupid tablet with the WiiU, the portability and joy-cons of the Switch. Why can't there be an option to buy just the WiiU console with a real controller if you didn't want the tablet bullshit? Why can't Nintendo have the option of buying the just a box with Switch hardware that plugs into the TV with a real controller for like $100 less for those that don't care about portability and thus don't need to pay for a screen they won't use? It's not that different than M$ forcing the Kinect on initial Xbone buyers. Both Sony and M$ make multiple version of their systems, why can't Nintendo?
That leads into how Nintendo is not competing with Sony or M$ because Nintendo is making a secondary gaming system or now a primary portable system with the Switch. Just about no one only games on a Switch, you have PS4/PC/Xbone + Switch.
PSs and Xboxs aren't mobile gaming systems thus they aren't competing for the 'gaming-on-the-go' market obviously. Like Dirty Hipsters said with Ford Pinto with wings, why am I going to by a system that's a bad home console and bad portable gaming device? Just because it does both better than anyone else doesn't make it very desirable. If exclusive games are literally the only reason to play on said system, it's not that good of a system now is it? The Switch is no different than the Epic Store, zing of the day!!! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFW0dU9Jbg0]

why would you waste your money on a console with shitty graphics like a PS4 or an Xbox One when everyone knows that PC literally always has the best graphics?
god guys!
Graphics have reached diminishing returns and people don't care about graphics that much. Not to mention, history shows that many dominant systems didn't have the best graphics. What separates the Switch from the PS4/Xbone isn't that the graphics aren't up to par, it's that the hardware is just so behind everyone else that it can't support most games (without devs massively downgrading their games). There's a reason why Pocket FFXV is on the Switch and not actual FFXV. Just like why a Nintendo system ain't going to get FFVII Remake or Cyberpunk or [insert massively hyped AAA game that isn't 1st party Nintendo game].
