Soundwave said: You could do more of a phased transition like
2023 lineup like this
Switch 2 - $349.99 Switch (standard) - $229.99 Switch Lite - $169.99
Switch 2 exclusive titles - Mario Kart 9 Splatoon 3 Metroid Prime 4 Xenoblade Next New Platinum Games Title Third party titles like Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Witcher 4, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Call of Duty, new engine FIFA.
Switch + Switch 2 cross platform titles
New 2D Super Mario Bros. Ring Fit 2 Pikmin 4 New Pokemon game New Fire Emblem game Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD Octopath Traveller 2 Indie games
Cross gen games on Switch 2 run enhanced at 1080p portable + 4K docked. Pokemon just jumped to this new 3D engine so they'll probably milk that for a while.
I think that's a reasonably doable, that said Nintendo likely will want people not to linger on Switch 1 too long. |
With that kind of 2023 lineup, there's no need for a Switch 2 in 2023 at all.

That's a hypothetical best case lineup, the reality likely wouldn't be that robust, more of an example of games that could be cross gen. And it's not like that Switch 2 money is going to charity. It would make Nintendo a lot of money both ways, a lot more than just having a Switch 1.
