Every year so far for the Switch has been proclaimed as its "peak". 2018 was supposed to be it's peak because how can you beat Smash + Pokemon? Or 2017 because it had Zelda, 3D Mario, and Splatoon? Or 2019 cos it had a "real" Pokemon and the Lite?

All Nintendo needs to beat 2020 is a stronger second half in terms of software and more plentiful supply. Will both those things happen? Too early to say. But it's definitely possible.

I'd probably also add a hardware revision myself, like a 'Pro/X' premium model (I'm still calling it the Nintendo Switch+, damn it!) But as it stands right now, they can't even keep up with demand of the current base model. (The Lite model has plenty of stock. At least in the area I live in the U.S.)
