Would you rather have the Switch or a powerful conventional Nintendo Home Console that competes with PS & Xbox?

Bigger devs would probably make a reasonable effort to improve the games overall presentation on a powerful Switch 2 home console, but I think there would end up a fair amount of devs that would do very little for the home console version if they were allowed.

So you're mostly right I'd say. It would make it a much harder sell to those who want a powerful Nin home console, because they obviously want the benefits of owning a piece of hardware like that, and only getting those benefits some of the time may not be enough. At that point, buying the hybrid instead might make more sense for them, so then why even make the powerhouse console?

Higher rendering resolution/frame rate/better DLSS/view distance/physics/AA/RT/LOD...more power, more goodies, and that all pretty much autoscales once put in place.

Even without going into other things, that alone is worth a lot.

I'd agree it's worth a lot to PS or XB gamers, but Nin gamers seem to care more about other things.

If the will to put all that into place along with, the R and D, upfront hardware costs, risk of poor sales, was all seen as worth taking the chance, then sure, but would Nin see it that way? It seems as though for the last 3 consoles anyway, that Nin's been a lot more cautious about how they approach their hardware and ecosystem overall.
