How is that tradition? It happened one time. Successor name suffixes and prefixes used: super, color, advance, mini, 64, i, 3, new, u. It could be anything.

Edit: ah no, there was also super game boy, I guess that's the only one they repeated. But that was specifically for super NES compatibility.

Do "i", "mini" and "new" really count as new consoles? i and new were just upgrades to the same console, I believe, and I'm not sure what "Mini" was even for..

Uh, there was a GameBoy Micro, but that's the closest that comes to mind.

Oops yes I meant the micro, not mini

I mean, they were direct successors. I imagine the next console won't be something completely different than the switch, so I imagine I will be some sort of switch 2.

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

None of those were direct successors, though
