What I meant was, it just became the 3rd highest selling system of all time without a Pro model; the general audience still seems to find it acceptable as it is. |
Indeed they do, yet... Many games are held back because of the hardware.
I think it's been established over the years, most notably with the Wii, that performance and graphics aren't important for a device to sell well.
But by that same extension... Just because a device sells well, doesn't mean it's perfect by an means.
Case in point... Pokemon Scarlet/Violet is certainly held back by the hardware, an overclocked Switch resolves most of the performance issues.
And because of such, a higher performing Switch would offer a far better experience to a Switch owner than the current hardware models... It may/may not increase sales of hardware, but that is irrelevant... It's about maintaining a degree of quality and playability in games.

This exactly. The switch clearly doesn't "need" much of anything. It was a wild success and has a superb software library. |
It needs better hardware, there are those who don't care if a game looks crap or runs at 15fps...
For someone like myself, I do care... And I want Nintendo to do better and offer us more to keep driving innovation and competition.
The game Library is definitely a strong point of the Switch, even if a chunk of it's best selling titles are ports from an older console, many newer games I am passing over or returning (Pokemon) because they are unplayable. - But there are millions who still rushed out and played the title to death despite it's technical shortcomings and issues.
There are always going to be a subset of consumers who expect a degree of quality out of their games, I'm one of them.
