==Nintendo Handheld System History== | |||
I noticed some of the edits you made on the Nintendo DS, 3DS, and Switch pages which, in my eyes, promoted quite a few inaccuracies. | |||
This site seems to have a history of getting the Nintendo DS > Nintendo 3DS succession wrong, promoting the idea that they went from the DS > DSi > and then 3DS, as if the DSi were its own separate entity; its own family of systems. | |||
It wasn't. | |||
The DS family includes: DS, DS Lite, DSi, and the DSi XL | |||
It is true that the DSi had a few minor exclusive games, but nothing that major to warrant it being its own separate platform. It was merely another revision of the original Nintendo DS. Nintendo has always considered it part of the DS family, to the point that they lump all four devices as a single unit in their sales figures and even went so far as to outright clarify this during their E3 2010 presentation during the introduction of the 3DS itself. | |||

"…because, of course, Nintendo 3DS is the successor to Nintendo DS." Former president Satoru Iwata didn't say DSi, he said DS. | |||
The same goes with the Nintendo 3DS. | |||
The Nintendo 3DS is an entire family of consoles that includes: 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, "New" 3DS, "New" 3DS XL, and the "New" 2DS XL. (I know, kind of a mess) | |||
The "New" models are still part of the overall 3DS family, as while they contain slight bumps in processing speed they were nothing more than just some simple overclocking with them doubling the RAM in the process. They were still, overall, part of the same platform. | |||
Calling the Nintendo Switch Lite specifically a "successor" to the 3DS family is silly, because the Switch Lite is, similar to the scenarios above, just another member of the Nintendo Switch family. It is more accurate to simply state that the '''entire''' Switch family of devices has succeeded the 3DS family of devices, especially because the original Switch essentially bridged the gap between the handhelds and home consoles and merged the two ideas into one. | |||
Was the Switch a successor to the Wii U? Absolutely. Was it a successor to the 3DS? The answer is also yes. | |||
