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

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.

Hm, I don't know...how many "Nintendo" gamers are they? 13.5 millions of us that bought WiiU?

Bottom line, if they ever decide to go with Switch 2 Home, making games run better and/or look prettier than on a base console will be very easy and I think lot of  folks can appreciate something running with crisper visuals, no matter the art style used in games - at least I do, and I'd say some not insignificant percent of customer base does. Is it profitable for them to make another system just to cater to us? No idea - I guess, time will tell.

Wii U is seen as a pretty big failure though, so even if Nin could sell 100M SW2 hybrids and then another 15M powerhouse consoles, I personally don't see them going to the trouble. I do think the hybrid hardware in a console that's pushed to its limits, within reason, is a lot more likely vs a PS5 or XBSX contender.
