Every competitor to a Nintendo handheld has had the same approach for 33 years. More powerful. More expensive. In 33 years that strategy has worked a grand total of...0 times. Every time a bunch of dumb people keep saying this is the time and the argument is always the same. because it's more powerful. It's a broken record now.
We were here a decade ago https://www.ign.com/articles/2011/10/22/the-playstation-vita-is-set-to-succeed
Nokia Ngage was going to be the Game Boy killer.
PSP was going to beat Nintendo DS as people claimed it a portable PS2 (not quite right)
I find it funny this never ends but the result is always the same. Nintendo outsells by a large margine. Next cylce it all starts again.
As for the emulation debate. There has been a series of Handhelds that have been used for just that. The Game Park. They've been making them since 2003 and others like it. They never make much of a dent. It's really a non factor as a selling point in the large picture.
