What elements of next gen could the Switch's successor implement?

The hybrid can still come 2-3 years later and swallow up the dedicated home console sales.

The portability is the star of the show, Nintendo's had really a miserable better part of 25 years now trying to sell a home-only console, it just doesn't work for well for them. When you make a a home only console people expect things like a modern online infrastructure, all the modern 3rd party titles, or you need a miracle craze like Wii Sports/Fit were. 

It's just too hard for Nintendo to manage that, the hybrid concept gives them the differentiator from the PS/XBox brands they need while integrating the market strength of portables which quite frankly has been their stronger side for decades now. 

If Nintendo wants to do something more along the lines of what you're suggesting, maybe a premium high end Switch that it more akin to a mini lap top could work. That could have a higher end chip and then in a couple of years the chip could be die shrunk to fit a more normal size handheld I guess. 

What you're saying is Nintendo can only win a home console race with a Wii-type gimmick and/or software that appeals to a wider/underserved audience?

Or until Nintendo fixes their online and/or gets the biggest/latest 3rd parties, they can't win without the casuals?

Is that fair?
