Isn't that like saying Super NES/Super Famicom was just a NES/Famicom Pro? |
Yes, it is. And what happened? It took the SNES three years and Sega shifting their focus and resources to the Saturn to overtake the Genesis in the US. For a time, Sonic was more popular than Mario, more recognizable to kids than the president, and their market share went from NES-level 90% to below 50%, all the while having a stellar lineup of amazing exclusives that are still unrivaled to this day.
There's such a thing as playing it too safe to the vest. And while I don't see the Switch 2 flopping by any stretch, I just think it's going to be too much of the same thing for it to do what the original Switch did. That thing was the first of its kind. It was fresh. It was new. It was interesting and different. This is none of that. It's just a Switch... only more powerful and refined. So I just don't see it matching its predecessor.
But hey, it's Nintendo. When it comes to them, it's like flipping a coin. Anything could happen. We'll see.
