I also think that the new management may be more open minded about going for newer and more powerful hardware, but some habits are hard to die.

Price wise, I'd be very cautious about it. $400 is a lot of money and Nintendo would have to work hard to justify it.

You would think so but Switch OLED is $350 and it's selling like hotcakes. $50 more and you get one of the biggest generational leaps that the console industry has seen in a long time would be easy enough to sell imo. They could always do two separate SKUs like Sony/MS are doing.

Switch 2 Lite, portable only, no DLSS. $300.
Switch 2, portable + docked, DLSS, $400.

You're right about the Switch OLED. It's crazy how much it can sell after five years by simply adding a new screen.

I don't doubt Nintendo will release two SKUs with time (no way they'll do it at launch), but I don't see why they should remove DLSS to make the handheld only model, specially since this would mean using a new SoC, incresing costs and causing extra supply problems. The savings from having two less batteries and one single chassis will be enough to justify the price difference, but I don't think the difference will be that much.
