A few things.  If you are right about the switch 2 having 64 to 128 gb, downloading games is going to be awful.  7 remake is 100 gb.  And standard SD cards for storage expansion are too slow, which will make options interesting.  

I'm glad you are finally acknowledging limitations of mobile hardware.

Nintendo has zero to fear from Apple.  Apple doesn't have mario, Zelda, metroid, Smash, Kart, animal crossing, pikmin, etc.  

Nintendo fans aren't going to care about Apple nor will PC gamers touch Apple and their closed systems.  You are grossly overestimating the threat Apple has to gaming.  

The fastest way to get yourself into trouble in this business is to not take competition seriously. 

It's been shown over and over and over and over again, yet some people still want to die on that hill. Did the 3DS and Wii U not have Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Smash, Animal Crossing, etc. etc.? Yes the IP are extremely important but you can't just half ass a piece of hardware and become lazy and think things are going to go A-OK. 

If they don't have an industry changing kind of feature (and I doubt it) for Switch 2 they're going to need a full generation upgrade over the existing hardware at least, if they just fart out a mediocre upgrade, it's just creating a good possibility of unnecessary headaches for no great reason. They've never released a system that was neither a large upgrade over their previous system OR had a completely industry changing functionality feature (Wiimote or hybrid console). It's either one of the other and in Nintendo DS' case it had both (and lo and behold it has the highest sales). 

Apple isn't a "closed system", lol (and Nintendo is some how an "open system?"). Apple products are the mainstream of the mainstream, very few companies move the kind of hardware volume they do, thus their ecosystem is huge, no game company could ever dream of getting the numbers they get. 

Nintendo's downfall has been predicted yearly for the last 30 years....  and here we are with the switch dominating.

And don't rewrite my words.  I said PC gamers are not going for apple's closed systems.  And Apple is a closed system while PC isn't.  PC gamers will not give a **** about apple.  Apple is for casuals.

McDonalds sells the most hamburgers, who cares?  Their products are still crap.  So is Starbucks coffee.  PC gamers will never limit themselves to Apple only hardware with limited upgrade ability.  It flatly isn't going to happen.
