I really don't know how they gonna insure the transition.

At this point, the Switch is one of the best consoles ever made, with a huge library, it scored everything a console needs to score throughout its lifecycle. Unless there is a clear separation between the two generations, the transition will be hard.

1. Full backward compatibility.

2. Make it a Switch 2, same hybrid concept and everything, just perfecting the design and obviously a large spec boost. Also at least 128gb of storage so people don't have to go get an SD card within the first couple months of owning the system.

3. NSO operational on the system from day 1 so the online service can make a seamless transition. Maybe even announce before launch that GC will be added to the service within 12 months of the launch.

4. Probably stop manufacturing the Switch as soon as the Switch 2 launches because presumably the next-gen system will be no more than the OLED price point so it wouldn't make sense to confuse consumers with Switch and Switch 2 at similar/same price points. Maybe just keep the Lite around since its a different price point so people very late to the game can still buy a new last-gen Switch. Other option is to do like $100 price cuts on OG and OLED but that doesn't seem likely.

5. MK9 and 3D Mario on launch. With a healthy lineup of first party and big third party games announced for the first 12 months.

6. Manufacture plenty of systems for launch and the period after so there aren't millions of eager gamers unable to buy it.

7. Make online communication better so you can actually message friends directly from the system to set up play sessions and whatnot.

8. Keep the same eshop from Switch (maybe with some improvements) and if someone has a Switch 2 just move the Switch stuff to its own tab. So that Swith and Switch 2 games are all integrated into a single eshop system, helping with the ease of backwards compatibility for users.

9. Include Super Mario Galaxy 2 on every system since they totally bizarrely left it out of 3D Mario All-Stars despite including the first Galaxy (okay this is more wishful thinking lol)

Basically just do everything they can do make the transition seamless for current Switch owners, and make the system feel like the same great hybrid concept but perfected and brought up to the graphical standards of the 2020s.
