Will Switch 2 outsell the Nintendo King?

There is a big part of me that would much rather see Switch 2 just be a minor success rather than a huge one again for Nintendo. I really hate the idea of them riding out another near decade life cycle with S2, which will be starting out well behind the other current gen consoles in hardware just like S1. Then it’s like a miserable situation again with the performance stuff during the last half of its life. And if it’s crazy successful, then we’re probably stuck with Switch 3 and we might actually lose innovative zany Nintendo.

No, I’d love for this thing to sell like 60 lt more like a 3DS and Nintendo be ready to move on to something totally new by the early 30s.

I guess the main reason why Nintendo is keeping the hybrid nature as a core pillar of their consoles now is cause it simplifies everything they do as a company and provides the biggest audience to make more money.

Personally I don’t really know what Nintendo would innovate next as I feel like they found a system that works. On the go, at home, (and rumors have Switch 2 be PC software compatible).

I do agree that there were some disappointing performance issues with Switch, but it seems like Switch 2 is made to actually last 8+ years of production.

In what way is it made for 8+ years? We know it’s well behind pa5 and xsx in power, which themselves are nearly 5 years old already. It will be the exact same situation as Switch if they ride it out that long. Miserably underpowered for the last 4-5 years. 

And I never said anything about them abandoning hybrid. Absolutely not, going back would never work now. But that doesn’t mean they have to stick to the Switch brand and fail to innovate just bc it’s a hybrid console.
