Making a system that is--at first glance--almost indistinguishable is just as risky. Yes, I know the Switch was a smash success, but in the history of the home console market, only once has there been a scenario where a console succeeded to the levels of the Switch and was followed by an equally (or more) successful one (PS1 and PS2). All the other times, the successors either did okay (SNES), under-performed (PS3), or utterly failed altogether (Wii U). So playing it as safe as Nintendo appears to be playing it ensures nothing, honestly.
Personally, if this is what the new system is, I'm a little disappointed. I have a Switch. I didn't want another one. I want something new, fresh and exciting.
But hey, you can't please everyone (and I'll likely buy it anyway).
