Interesting speculation, and it would be great if it were true. This is basically everything that Nintendo gamers could ask for and I assume that this would make the Switch a viable candidate for PS5/XSX ports which would be enormous for Nintendo and the first time that we have seen this level of technical capability since the Gamecube. If Nintendo did this right, they could regain third parties in a way that we haven't seen since the SNES days.
This rumor would also certainly explain the lack of Nintendo 1st party support as of late as I am sure that Nintendo would want to announce BotW2, Metroid Prime 4 and other big titles to showcase the upgraded graphics. That said, it just seems like a complete 180 from Nintendo's current attitude of complacency. I hate to say it, but I think the only way that we would see a launch like this would be if Switch sales start to diminish significantly and it was affecting Nintendo's investment outlook for at least a year. Right now, Nintendo seems happy to just slack off and roll in the cash. It is a very foolish attitude that has hurt Nintendo in the past and I hope that I am wrong and that this rumor turns out to be true. This rumor would be an extremely smart move for Nintendo and would really give them an edge to compete with the PS5/XSX, the former of which will probably start to overtake the Switch in sales potentially this Christmas season or sometime next year.
