They can always make the Switch 2 completely backwards compatible to sweeten the deal. Being able to play the previous lineup right off the bat is always a big plus, and I'm pretty sure the technology for it is not that complicated, especially if they still use the same cartridge format.

The thing is though, if they make Switch 2 backwards compatible, they lose their chance to rip off consumers by making every second Switch 2 release just a rehashed full-price Switch 1 game at a higher res. I can see them axing back compat for this reason alone.

Not true, Wii had backwards compatibility with Gamecube and it still had Metroid Prime 1 &  2, Pikmin 1 & 2, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and Mario Power Tennis ported to it.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
