I think Nintendos main problem is that they really like to add gimmicks which takes cost away from the core hardware. The Switch has quite a lot of unnecessary gimmicks that I never use and I would rather have taken away for better hardware that would give me a better gaming experience. But Nintendo isn't that type of a company and that has lead to both their successes and failures.

And this is realistically what I fear about the Switch 2. Nvidia has a great technology called Tensor Cores. Combined with DLSS, it's able to give you unprecedented results from an upscaler that in some areas are better than Native. If Sony or Microsoft had access to this technology, you would be your arse that they would make full use of it. Nintendo is the type of company that would instead of including Tensor cores with the Switch 2 would rather include more waggle functionality and make everyone facepalm.

And imo, that is one of the main reasons why they go with such old hardware. It's not so much that they want to per say but their priority is gimmicks first, hardware second. They would rather use outdated hardware thats cheap but add more gimmicky features than state of the art hardware that costs more with less gimmicky features.

Hopefully that changes with the Switch 2 but you can never know with Nintendo...
