And how many dreamcasts were ever produced? Less than 10 million units. There are literally billions of laptops and smartphones there are too prolific a technology to ever go extinct. A specific model may become rare or unavailable but a smartphone or laptop will always be something you can buy.

What I was saying is that laptops are anything outdated won't suddenly dissappear but the support of those outdated tech will go away. Once that happens you don't have a practical choice in the long term. Is it possible yes that they will continue it in the long term yes, is it realistic ? no.

You are wrong then because as stated you can still buy tech that was obsolete decades ago brand new.

So you have concluded that it is in fact not only possible but basically impossible that widespread technology like smartphones or laptops are always going to be options for people or at least they will be for the next several decades.
