The specs and release timing are a concern, don't get me wrong. But here is the curse: Nintendo's arrogance. The Wii U failed big time because Nintendo assumed the Wii name and the tablet alone were enough to sells tens of millions, if not a hundred million units. I think hybrid systems are the way to go for Nintendo in the future. I imagine they'll use the Switch name again for its successor. Call It Switch 2, Switch Evolved, whatever. Now imagine they don't promote the console properly, and the price is too high. Not to mention trickling out exclusives people want to play, rather than at a good pace. It would be the Wii U situation all over again. The only time Nintendo has had two home consoles in a row that crushed the competition were the NES and SNES. The Wii was a fluke in otherwise declining console sales, and the Switch is another fluke (in part due to it being a hybrid). Nintendo has a very turbulent history in hardware success.
I'm hoping that the Switch 2 has almost none of the issues Switch has had. I want something better than the Switch already is, not worse.
