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.

The world revolves around PC gamers now? lulz.
Apple products aren't crap either, like there's very few phones as good as an iPhone, certainly almost none with the processing power it has.
An M2 Max can come pretty damn close to PS5 performance at 35 watts max draw whereas a PS5 needs 200 watts to run games, lol. 80 watts just to run Netflix. Who's making the crap product again?
If Apple really wanted to make a game console, they'd blow that ugly ass PS5 right off its ass and take Sony to the cleaners. They could make something at 100-120 watts significantly more powerful than a PS5 or XSX and smaller/slimmer than both of those systems at the same time.
