Will the Switch 2 have some secret sauce? If so, what?

I do think playing it safe is the correct choice here since another disaster would be even worse for them than last time due to no longer having a 2nd system to fall back on. They can try to come up with new gimmicks but whatever it is should either be minor enough to have little negative impact if people end up not caring about it or be completely optional like with Labo. Any 3DS or Wii U level gimmicks should be avoided due to the huge risk.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion. In the unlikely event I wind up running a massive gaming hardware manufacturer, you will not be working for me.

Wouldn't the best move here be for Nintendo to try to get into the sort of position Playstation is in? That being where they don't need to do much aside from releasing more powerful hardware and compelling software to get guaranteed huge success as long as they don't screw up. I just can't see why it would be a good business move to risk the best position they've been in in 15 years when they could keep at least close to this level of success going for close to another decade by playing it safe. A standard Switch 2 would almost surely sell at least 120m if they keep the compelling software coming.
