Xbox is now claiming that the next Xbox (it's now confirmed Series X/S won't be the last) will be the largest generational leap of all-time. I do not understand that strategy. Xbox already has broad support for PC gaming, so why worry about a powerful console that will still fall short of some very powerful gaming PCs? Software and Game Pass will sell Xbox consoles, not big specs.
If we find out that Nintendo's upcoming platform is one of their biggest (if not biggest) leap in specs of all-time, what is the point? Is Nintendo really going to benefit from a docked Switch 2 that would outperform a Series S and get closer to a PS5? Nintendo customers (whether adults buying for themselves or for family members) typically come for the Nintendo software, a little bit of the third-party, and some Nintendo charm/quirks. Nintendo will just pass the costs onto us. A Switch 2 that is more powerful than Series S would probably be at least $500 USD. I really don't want that, especially if it's the only way to get Switch as a hybrid without a cheaper hybrid SKU.
Gaming PCs long ago outpaced consoles, there's no use in trying to get way closer to them if the price is too high.
