Just like a lot of people are pointing out that Nintendo is evolving away from introducing new hardware gimmicks each gen and that they're not bound by their previous generations norms, I was hoping they'd also be a tad more ambitious with the hardware. A small battery & 8nm seems to have dictated quite modest clocks 

That's why I'd love a home version, theoretically running at full whack. Aware though that that's unlikely. 

I get Shu's point. People have become used to Nin's blue ocean strategy, and so they expect something very different, or different enough from last gen, but it kinda seems like Nin has actually been taking a hybrid approach with their business model for a while now, where they stick with something similar enough, but iterate on it so there's some difference. That would make sense from an outsiders perspective, just looking at the transition from Wii to Wii U to Switch to Switch 2. You can see the steps they're taking.

It's just that Wii was such a major direction change from Gamecube. Switch kinda seemed like that at first, since it felt like Nin was ditching home consoles, but in reality they're just dipping their feet in both pools now with the same product.

I agree though, it would be nice for Nin to have a dedicated home console, since they did have a dedicated handheld with Switch Lite. Thing is I'd guess it's less likely for Nin to create a powerful beast, and more likely they'd just take SW2 hardware and stick in it a home console looking shell. Either way, it would cover all 3 spaces with dedicated hardware, which would be nice.
